Cisco Systems AIRCAP3602IAK9 manual Troubleshooting the Power and Cooling Systems

Appendix A Troubleshooting

Isolating Problems

When problem solving, consider the following router subsystems:

•Power and cooling systems—External power source, power cable, router power supply and circuit breaker, and router blower and fan. Also consider inadequate ventilation or air circulation.

•Modules—LEDs on the modules can help identify a failure.

•Cables—External cables that connect the router to the network.

Troubleshooting the Power and Cooling Systems

Both the system LED and the fans can help you troubleshoot a power problem. Check the following items to help isolate the problem:

•With the power switch on, does the system LED stay on or blink?

–If the LED is green, the router is receiving power and is functional.

–If the LED is off, check the power source and power cable.

•With the power switch on and the system LED on, do the fans operate?

–If no, check the fans.

•With the power switch on and the system LED off, do the fans operate?

–If yes, the router is receiving power. The fans are connected directly to the DC outputs of the power supply.

–If no, check the power source and power cable.

•Does the router shut down after being on a short time?

–Check for an environmentally induced shutdown. See the next section, “Environmental Reporting Features.”

–Check the environmental site requirements in the “General Site Requirements” section on page 2-3.

–Check for a power supply failure in the Cisco 3620 and Cisco 3640 routers by inspecting the system LED on the front panel. If the system LED is on or blinking, the power supply should be functional.

–Check for a power supply failure in the Cisco 3631 router by inspecting the system LED on the front panel. If the system LED is on, the power supply is functional.

–Check for a power supply failure in the Cisco 3660 router by inspecting the system, PS1, and PS2 LEDs on the front panel. If they are green, the power supplies are functional.

•Router partially boots, but LEDs do not come on.

–Check for a power supply failure by inspecting the system LED on the front panel of the router. If the system LED is on, the power supply is functional.

–Check for a power supply failure in the Cisco 3660 router by inspecting the PS1 and PS2 power supply LEDs on the front panel. For an explanation of these LEDs, see Table A-3.

–If the system LED is not on, refer to the warranty information in the quick start guide that shipped with your router, or contact customer service. The quick start guide is also available both on the Documentation CD-ROM and online.
