Managing the device
Mar 28 12:36:47:A:System: Set fan speed to MED (75%)
Mar 25 21:40:47:A:System: Set fan speed to MED-HI (90%)
Mar 25 16:30:47:A:System: Set fan speed to MED (75%)
Mar 23 23:12:07:A:System: Set fan speed to MED-HI (90%)
If the system detects a major I2C failure, the system prevents the management module from accessing devices through the l2C serial
bus. The output from the show chassis command and the show temperature command reflect this action, as shown in these examples.

Displaying device status and temperature readings
You can display the following information about the router:
•
Power-on priority of the device slots
•
Status of the fans
•
Temperature readings of the management, switch fabric, interface, and fan control modules and the interval at which the system
reads the temperature of these modules
•
MAC address of the device
To display this information, enter the show chassis command at any level of the CLI.
