Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Overview for the Cisco 7500 Series
temperature of the system falls below a certain temperature setpoint. At the fifteenth temperature cycle,
this temperature setpoint is changed to a very low value, preventing the affected router from powering
back up.
This achieves a hard shutdown of one router without affecting the other router. The RSP and IPs will
remain disabled until the power is manually recycled. This allows you to choose a suitable time to
recycle the power when it will not adversely affect your users.
In the Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576, a blower failure is
indicated when the blower impeller has stopped turning. A warning message is displayed on the console,
and the system will continue operating until it shuts itself down because of overheating, or until you shut
it down.
Cisco 7500 Series Temperature and Voltage Thresholds
If the air temperature exceeds a defined threshold, the system processor displays warning messages on
the console terminal, and if the temperature exceeds the shutdown threshold, it 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 or Warning levels). If an internal power supply
temperature or voltage reaches a critical level, the power supply shuts down without any interaction with
the system processor.
If the system detects that AC or DC input power is dropping, but it is able to recover before the power
supply shuts down, it logs the event as an intermittent power failure. The reporting functions display the
cumulative number of intermittent power failures logged since the last power up.

lists temperature thresholds for the first four processor-monitored levels. (The system displays
all temperatures in Celsius only.)
