Solving Hardware

In the rare event of your Switch unit experiencing a hardware failure,

Problems

refer to the list of suggested solutions below.

 

An expansion module is installed and the unit will not power up

 

Ensure that the expansion module is fully seated in the slot and the

 

connectors are engaged so that the securing screws can be tightened.

 

A fan failure warning message is received

 

Your Switch has a fan monitoring system that will generate fan failure

 

warning messages. Fan failure could potentially reduce the lifetime of the

 

Switch. The monitoring system polls the fan status at periodic intervals

 

while the unit is powered up.

 

Should one fan failure occur in the Switch, a warning message will be

 

generated in the following ways:

 

RMON Email Notification — If configured, you will receive

 

notification of the fan failure via email, SMS (Short Message Service),

 

or pager.

 

RMON Trap — If configured, an RMON trap is generated and sent to

 

the management workstation.

 

For further information about RMON, refer to “Chapter 7: Status

 

Monitoring and Statistics” in the Switch Implementation Guide supplied

 

in PDF format on the CD-ROM that accompanies the Switch.

If more than one fan fails in the Switch, a warning message will be generated by RMON Email Notification, RMON Trap and also in the following ways:

Command Line Interface — An indication of a general hardware failure is provided through the Top level menu displayed when logging on to the CLI. For more detailed information about the failure select the system summary command.

Web interface — An indication of fan failure is provided through the Device Summary table for the specific unit. In addition all Summary tables turn red to indicate the fan failure.
