This section describes the following topics:

•Viewing the System Section for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU

•Setting Chassis Temperature Thresholds for the 3545 MCU

•Refreshing the System Section for the 3545 MCU

If your MCU module is installed in the top slot of the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis, then the module also performs PCI bus functions for the chassis. In the MCU interface, you can use the System section to monitor chassis functions remotely.

One of the functions the chassis performs is to monitor ambient temperature. You can set temperature thresholds in the System section. The chassis uses these thresholds to trigger a warning that the ambient temperature exceeds specification and when the temperature has returned to five degrees below the warning threshold.

Viewing the System Section for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 MCU

You can view the System section by selecting it in the MCU interface.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Access the MCU interface.

Step 2 On the sidebar, click System.

Table 1-1 lists the elements that appear in the System section.

Table 1-1 System Elements 

Element	Description
Information section	This section provides the following information about the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis hardware: •Serial number—Displays the serial number of the chassis. •Part number—Displays the part number of the chassis. •System configuration—Identifies the hardware configuration the chassis uses.
Temperature threshold	In this section, you can set the following temperature values that the chassis uses to trigger changes in the ambient temperature status: •Low—Enter the temperature value at which the MCU module turns off the chassis temperature alarm. The value is measured in Celsius. •High—Enter the temperature value above which the MCU module turns on the chassis temperature alarm. The value is measured in Celsius.
Status section	These LEDs provide information about chassis operation. •Power—This LED lights green for normal operation. It lights red when one power supply fails. •Alarm—This LED lights green for normal operation. It lights red when a system failure occurs. •Fans—This LED lights green for normal operation. It lights red when one or more fans fail. A message then appears indicating which fan has failed. •Temperature—This LED lights green for normal operation. It is red when the chassis determines that the ambient temperature rises above the high temperature threshold. The LED blinks when the falling ambient temperature crosses the high threshold to within five degrees of the high threshold.

Setting Chassis Temperature Thresholds for the 3545 MCU

In the System section, you can set critical and safe temperatures for the Cisco Unified Videoconferencing 3545 chassis.

Procedure

---

Step 1 Launch the MCU interface of the module installed in the top slot of the chassis.

Step 2 On the sidebar, click System.

Step 3 In the High field, enter a Celsius value for the critical temperature threshold.

We recommend that you set this critical threshold to 40°C.

The temperature LED lights red when the operating temperature inside the chassis rises above this value.

Step 4 In the Low field, enter a Celsius value for the safe temperature threshold.

We recommend that you set this safe threshold to 35°C.

When, after exceeding the critical threshold, the operating temperature of the chassis falls to this value, the temperature LED lights green. During the temperature descent, the LED blinks green for the first 5°C between the critical threshold and the safe threshold.
