Abstract: Examples described herein relate to improved powering down of PoE interfaces in a network device. In response to detecting a fault that interrupts a flow of power from the PSUs to one or more of the PoE interfaces, the examples determine a total operational power value based on an operational power value of each operational PSU of the PSUs and determine a total available power value based on the total operational power value and a reserved power value. For each of the PoE interfaces, the examples determine whether a threshold power value for the PoE interface exceeds the total available power value and power down the PoE interface in response to determining that the threshold power value for the PoE interface exceeds the total available power value.

Abstract: A method of controlling an operating temperature of a data storage device is disclosed. A threshold temperature for the storage device is set. Over time, during operation of the data storage device, an operating temperature of the storage device is measured at a plurality of points in time. A plurality of temperature measurements as a function of time are thereby obtained. Above threshold temperature measurements are accumulated over time to form a high temperature accumulation value (Vhigh), and below threshold temperature measurements are accumulated to form a low temperature accumulation value (Vlow). The low temperature accumulation value (Vlow) and the high temperature accumulation value (Vhigh) are compared. If an outcome of the comparison is that the high temperature accumulation value (Vhigh) is too high in relation to the low temperature accumulation value (Vlow), an operating temperature lowering action is initiated.
