Step 5 Verify that the power supply unit is functional by replacing it with another power supply (see the “Replacing a Power Supply Unit During Operations” section on page 8-1) and plugging its power cords into the same AC source. If the Input and Output LEDs turn green on the replacement power supply unit, contact Customer Service (see the “Contacting Customer Service” section on page 7-6) to replace the defective power supply unit.

If you are unable to determine the problem with the power supply or determine which power supply unit has the problem, contact TAC.

Troubleshooting the Fan Trays

The following conditions indicate that there is a problem with one or more fan tray modules:

The FAN LED on the chassis is amber.

The STATUS LED on the fan tray is flashing red.

While the system is running, each fan tray module should be exhausting air and its STATUS LED should be green, which indicates that all of the fans in that tray are running above the threshold speed.

For a listing of the fan tray LEDs and the conditions that they indicate, see Table C-6 on page C-6.

To troubleshoot a fan tray problem, follow these steps until the problem is resolved:

Step 1 Check if the STATUS LED is flashing red or is not lit on each fan tray. If the LED is flashing red, at least one fan in the tray is running at a slow speed or not running. If the LED is not lit, no power is going to the fan tray.

Step 2 Check if the power supply units are providing power to the chassis components. See the “Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on page 7-2.

Step 3 Make sure that the fan tray is properly seated in the chassis by following these steps:

a.Loosen the captive screws on the fan tray until they are no longer in the chassis.

b.Place one hand on the handle for the fan tray and pull the fan tray part way out of the chassis.

c.Push the fan tray back into the chassis until it is fully seated on the midplane and make sure that each captive screw on the fan tray is aligned with its hole in the chassis.

d.Securely tighten each captive screw (to 8 lb. in.) to the chassis.

Step 4 Call Customer Service and describe the conditions that you are seeing with the fan tray. See the “Contacting Customer Service” section on page 7-6.

Troubleshooting the Supervisor Modules

The following conditions indicate a problem with one or more supervisor modules:

The SUP LED on the chassis is amber.

The STATUS LED on a supervisor module is amber, red, or not lit.

The CMP STATUS LED on a supervisor module is amber or red.

An ACT LED on a supervisor module is not lit.

Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are pivotal in the landscape of networking, providing high-performance, reliable solutions for enterprise environments and service providers. These routers were designed to support the growing demands of digital communication, offering robust features that enhance connectivity and streamline network operations.

One of the primary characteristics of the Cisco 7000 series is its modular architecture. This allows for the integration of various interface modules and processing units, enabling organizations to customize their routers according to specific networking needs. The modularity supports scalability, as businesses can upgrade or replace components as their requirements evolve without having to replace the entire system.

The Cisco 7000 series incorporates advanced routing protocols, ensuring efficient data packet management and traffic flow. It supports multiple protocols, including OSPF, BGP, and EIGRP, facilitating seamless integration into a variety of network environments. This flexibility is essential in modern networks, where diverse communication protocols are in use.

Load balancing capabilities are another significant feature of the Cisco 7000 series. This functionality allows for the optimal distribution of network traffic across multiple paths, enhancing performance and redundancy. By ensuring that no single route is overwhelmed, organizations can maintain uptime and improve overall user experience.

Security is a top priority for many businesses, and the Cisco 7000 series addresses this need with built-in security features. It supports Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and access control lists (ACL) to provide secure remote access and protect sensitive data from unauthorized access. This capability is vital in today’s threat landscape, where data breaches can have far-reaching consequences.

The series also boasts high throughput and low latency, making it suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications like video conferencing and cloud computing. Coupled with Quality of Service (QoS) features, the Cisco 7000 ensures that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, thereby enhancing overall network performance.

In terms of manageability, the Cisco 7000 routers come equipped with advanced monitoring and diagnostic tools. Network administrators can easily track performance metrics and identify potential issues before they escalate, minimizing downtimes and maintaining business continuity.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 7000 series routers are a sophisticated solution for organizations seeking to optimize their networking infrastructure. With modularity, robust routing protocols, load balancing, security features, high performance, and comprehensive manageability, the Cisco 7000 series stands out as a reliable foundation for successful network operations in an increasingly connected world.
