The module may not be receiving enough power. Brocade

 

 

 

 

 

 

recommends installing power supplies in a fully redundant

 

 

 

 

 

 

configuration as described for each router model in this

 

 

 

 

 

 

chapter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check the Pwr LED on the management module. If it is on,

 

 

 

 

 

 

the management module may be preventing power from

 

 

 

 

 

 

getting to the interface module.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enter the show chassis command at any level of the CLI to

 

 

 

 

 

 

determine if the management module recognizes the

 

 

 

 

 

 

presence of all power sources.
