Measures reported by CpFanTest
Fans ensure that the temperature of the core components of the Check Point Smart-1 appliance are well-within operable limits. If one/more fans fail, then the temperature of sensitive hardware may soar causing permanent hardware damage. With the help of this test, you can instantly detect the speed at which the fans operate and an out of range fan sensor, initiate remedial measures in order to prevent any irreparable damage to the hardware.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Speed |
Indicates the speed at which this fan operates. |

The speed of the fan should be well within operable limits. A sudden/significant rise/fall in the value of this measure could be a cause of concern which warrants an investigation. |
| Sensor_status |
Indicates whether/not the sensor of this fan is out of range. |
