Purpose
For optimum switch performance, verify the condition of the installed power supplies.
Action
On a regular basis:
• Check the status of the power supplies by issuing the
show chassis environment pem
command. The
output for EX9251 switches is similar to the following:
user@switch> show chassis environment pem
PEM 0 status:
State Online
Airflow Front to Back
Temperature OK 21 degrees C / 69 degrees F
Temperature OK 13 degrees C / 55 degrees F
Fan Sensor 4200 RPM
DC Output Voltage(V) Current(A) Power(W) Load(%)
12.00 8 96 3
PEM 1 status:
State Online
Airflow Front to Back
Temperature OK 19 degrees C / 66 degrees F
Temperature OK 15 degrees C / 59 degrees F
Fan Sensor 4260 RPM
DC Output Voltage(V) Current(A) Power(W) Load(%)
12.06 7 84 2
• Make sure that the power and grounding cables are arranged so that they do not obstruct access to
other switch components.
• Routinely check the status LEDs on the power supply faceplates and the front panel in EX9251
switches to determine whether the power supplies are functioning normally.
• Check the alarm LEDs on the front panel in EX9251 switches. Power supply failure or removal
triggers an alarm that causes one or both of the LEDs to light. You can display the associated error
messages by issuing the following command:
user@switch> show chassis alarms
