Verifying proper operation
Active On The switch fabric
module is active
and ready to switch
user packets.
Off for an
extended
period.
The switch fabric module is not active and user packets are not
being switched from one interface module to another.
You must replace the switch fabric module. Refer to “Replacing a
switch fabric module” on page 254.
AC power supplies
AC OK Green (steady) The power supply is
receiving power
from the AC power
source.
Off The power supply is not receiving power from an AC power
source You can do the following:
•
Make sure that the power cord is connected securely to the
wall outlet and the power supply.
•
Make sure the wall outlet is rated for high line, 200-240
VAC and 20A. If not, obtain a cable that is rated for the outlet.
•
Make sure that the wall outlet has power.
DC OK Green (steady) The power supply is
providing AC power
to the router.
Off The power supply is not supplying power to the router. If the AC
LED is green, there is a problem with the power supply and it must
be replaced.
ALM Off The power supply is
in normal operating
condition.
Amber The power supply is malfunctioning.
DC power supplies
DC IN Green (steady) The power supply is
receiving power
from the DC power
source.
Off The power supply is not receiving power from a DC power source
You can do the following:
•
Make sure that the power supply cables are connected
securely to the power source and the power supply.
•
Make sure that the DC power source for MLX -4, -8, and
-16 is 48 VDC @ 30 A. The DC power source for MLX-32
must be 48 VDC @60A. The operating voltage range is 40
to 60 VDC.
•
Make sure that the power source has power.
DC OUT Green (steady) The power supply is
providing DC power
to the router.
Off The power supply is not supplying power to the router. If the DC
IN LED is green, then there is a problem with the power supply
and it must be replaced.
ALM Off The power supply is
in normal operating
condition.
Amber The power supply is malfunctioning.
Fan control module (two LEDs on rear panel of router)
Unlabeled Green (steady) The fans are
working and
responding to
controls from the
fan control module.
Off or
amber
The fans are not receiving power (off), or the fans are not working
and not responding to controls from the fan control module
(amber). Check the following:
•
If the LED is off, check the power LED on the other modules
to make sure they are receiving power. If you are using a DC
power source, check your power source for problems.
•
If you are using AC power supplies, take the actions
described in the Meaning or Action column for the AC power
supply LED. If these actions do not resolve the problem,
check the LED on each power supply or enter the
show
chassis
command at any CLI prompt to determine if a
power supply has failed. If a power supply has failed, you
must replace it.
•
If the LED is amber, you must replace the fan module.
