Alarm
Type LED Indication Action
Supervisor engine temperature sensor
exceeds major threshold1
1. Temperature sensors monitor key supervisor engine components including daughter cards.
Major STATUS2 LED red3
2. A STATUS LED is located on the supervisor engine front panel and all module front panels.
3. The STATUS LED is red on the failed supervisor engine. If there is no redundant supervisor, the SYSTEM LED is red also.
Syslog message and SNMP trap generated.
If redundancy, system switches to redundant
supervisor engine and the active supervisor engine
shuts down.
If there is no redundancy and the overtemperature
condition is not corrected, the system shuts down
after 5 minutes.
