Measures reported by A10FanTest

The A10 Application Delivery Controller comprises of fans that helps you to maintain optimal temperature of the core components of the A10 Application Delivery Controller. If one/more fans fail, then the temperature of sensitive hardware may soar causing permanent hardware damage. To avoid such heavy duty damage to the A10 Application delivery Controller, it is necessary to monitor the current state and the operational speed of the fans. This is where the A10FanTest test exactly helps!

This test auto discovers the fans of the A10 Application Delivery Controller and reports the overall health of each fan and the speed at which the fan operates. This way, administrators can instantly detect a fan failure, initiate remedial measures and proactively prevent any irreparable damage to hardware.
