Chapter 1 Product Overview Functional Overview When you remove or insert a port adapter or service adapter in a Cisco 7206 router, the midplane pins send signals to notify the system, which then performs as follows: 1. Rapidly scans the midplane for configuration changes. 2. Initializes all newly inserted port adapters and service adapters, noting any removed port adapter interfaces and placing them in the administratively shutdown state. 3. Brings all previously configured interfaces on the port adapter back to the state they were in when they were removed (service adapters do not have interfaces). Any newly inserted interfaces are put in the administratively shutdown state, as if they were present (but not configured) at boot time. If a similar port adapter type is reinserted into a slot, its ports are configured and brought online up to the port count of the original port adapter. (A service adapter has no configurable ports.) Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions Environmental monitoring and reporting functions are controlled by the network processing engine and allow you to maintain normal system operation by identifying and resolving adverse conditions prior to loss of operation. The environmental monitoring functions constantly monitor the internal chassis air temperature and DC supply voltages and currents. Each power supply monitors its own voltage and temperature and shuts itself down if it detects a critical condition within the power supply. If conditions reach shutdown thresholds, the system shuts down to avoid equipment damage from excessive heat. The reporting functions periodically log the values of measured parameters so that you can retrieve them for analysis later, and the reporting functions display warnings on the console if any of the monitored parameters exceed defined thresholds. Environmental Monitoring The environmental monitoring functions use four sensors, two on the network processing engine and two on the I/O controller, to monitor the temperature of the cooling air as it moves through the chassis. Table 1-10 lists the temperature thresholds for each network processing engine type. If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the system controller displays warning messages on the console terminal and, if the temperature exceeds the shutdown threshold, the system controller shuts down the system. The system stores the present parameter measurements for both temperature and DC voltage in NVRAM, so that you can retrieve them later as a report of the last shutdown parameters. The power supplies monitor internal power supply temperature and voltages. A power supply is either within tolerance (normal) or out of tolerance (critical). If an internal power supply temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with the system processor.
