Troubleshooting
The information in this chapter applies to all Catalyst 6880-X switches unless otherwise noted.
Note
Problems with the initial startup are often caused by a switching module that has become dislodged from
the backplane or a power supply that has been disconnected from the power cord connector. Although
temperature conditions above the maximum acceptable level rarely occur at initial startup, you might encounter
these conditions during extended operation. Long-term monitoring functions also include independent
reporting of DC-output voltage problems.

Getting Started
When the initial system startup is complete, verify the following:
•
Power supplies are supplying power to the system.
•
The fan tray assembly is operating.
•
System software boots successfully.
If one or more of the above conditions are not met, use the procedures described in this chapter to isolate and,
if possible, resolve the problem. If all of the above conditions are met, and the hardware installation is complete,
refer to your software release notes for hardware support information and software caveats.
