Thermal Policy

A Thermal Policy controls the fan speed mode for UCS servers, balancing cooling performance against acoustics and power consumption. It is applied to servers via a Server Profile Template.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates a thermal policy configured for balanced fan speed, suitable for most rack environments.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          thermal:
            - name: default-thermal
              fan_control_mode: Balanced
              tags:
                - key: env
                  value: prod

Example-2: The example below demonstrates a high-power cooling policy for thermally dense deployments.

compute:
  intersight:
    organizations:
      - name: MyOrganization
        policies:
          thermal:
            - name: high-density-thermal
