Installing and Maintaining the E1200i System 87 The E1200i generates major and minor alarms for the fo llowing conditions: • fan trays status • Power Supply status • RPMs status • high temperature on RPMs • line cards status • high temperature on line cards • SFMs status • high temperature on SFMs.
88 Alarms Power Supplies and Alarms If a Power Supply fails whi le the E1200i is operating , the software generates a major alarm and an SNMP trap, lights the major LED, and activates the audible alarm. When a Power Supply fails, the so ftware also records one alarm event for line cards, RPM, and SFM, though each contains its own power source.
Installing and Maintaining the E1200i System 89 SFMs and Alarms The number of SFMs present in the system when it boot s determines the level of alarms sent when a tenth (redundant) SFM is removed or fails. At boot time, if ten SFMs are present and functioning, the E1200i system issues no alarms.
