AC Power Supplies and Alarms
During system boot, if the redundant power supply (the fourth power supply) is missing or fails, the
FTOS does not generate any alarm messages since the minimum configuration of three power supplies is
operating. Yet, if a fourth AC power supply is installed, and later one of the four power supplies is
removed or fails, the system generates a minor alarm.
If only three power supplies are installed and one of them fails while the E-Series is operating, the
software generates a major alarm and an SNMP trap, lights the major LED, and activates the audible
alarm.
When you operate the E-Series with three AC power supplies and six or more line cards, the software
lists a redundancy alarm on the console and in the
show alarms
command output. All line cards operate
normally.
