It's usually a consequence of working in the microcanonical ensemble, where you're forcing the energy of the system to be fixed while exploring its various states. The most common (and intuitive) scenario is the Macrocanonical ensemble where the temperature is fixed the energy is allowed to vary. In this case, of course, there is no negative temperature.
