(Standby Output) Power Supply Modes Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches offer redundant and combined configuration modes for power supplies. The number of power supply modules installed and the system load determine the power level that the system expects to draw from each power supply module, and consequently, the power supply mode that will be suitable.
• All the installed power supply modules must be of the same capacity. For example, all the installed modules are C9400-PWR-2100AC. • All the installed power supply modules must have the same AC-input voltage level. Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Page 31
• Total standby output power must be greater than or equal to the total active output power (total standby output power > or = total active output power). This ensures that the system continues to provide redundancy at the time of a switchover. Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide...

Contacting the Cisco Technical Assistance Center, on page 142 About this Section This chapter describes how to perform basic troubleshooting on Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches. Problems with the initial startup are often caused by a switching module that has become dislodged from the backplane or a power cord that is disconnected from the power supply.
Watch for any system messages after startup. • That the power supplies are supplying power to the system The power supply’s LED should be green. Use the show environment Cisco IOS command to view power supply activity. • That the system fan assembly is operating Listen for fan activity.
“Troubleshooting Switching Modules” section. If you determine that the switching module is not operating, contact Cisco TAC as described in the “Some Problems and Solutions” section. • If the boot information and system banner are not displayed, verify that the terminal is set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit and connected properly to the console port.

Troubleshooting Troubleshooting a DC-Input Power Supply may lie with the first power supply bay and not the power supply module. Call Cisco Technical Assistance Center (Cisco Support) for further instructions. b) If a second power supply is available, install it in the second power supply bay.
If there is no damage, try installing it in another empty power supply bay, if available. Do not touch the back of the power supply module during this inspection. If the OUTPUT LED turns green, the problem may lie with the first power supply bay and not the power supply module. Call Cisco Technical Assistance Center (Cisco Support) for further instructions.
All fans must be operating or a failure will occur. Environmental problems may initially appear to be problems with the fan tray. To help isolate a fan assembly problem, follow these steps: Cisco Catalyst 9400 Series Switches Hardware Installation Guide...
Page 142
Verify that all fans are operating. You should hear the fans at system start. What to do next If the system is still detecting a fan assembly failure, check for details using the Cisco IOS commands, save the logs, and contact the Cisco TAC for assistance.

1. Ensure that the terminal configuration matches the switch console port speed configuration. The following example uses a Cisco switch as the console, and the console port number is 8. Enter the appropriate console port number when you configure the console port speed.
Page 147
Further, the current console port session speed is still set to 115200 and you still have access. 2. Boot the image—Cisco IOS boots the image normally. The line console speed is initially retrieved from BAUD (9600), but Cisco IOS parses the startup-configuration, and the speed is changed to 115200. This matches the current console port speed.
If you are unable to solve a startup problem after using the troubleshooting suggestions in this chapter, contact a Cisco TAC representative for assistance and further instructions. Before you call, have the following information ready to help the Cisco TAC assist you as quickly as possible: • Date you received the switch •...

A standard Category cable used in Ethernet systems consists of eight conductors. IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at systems use only four of these conductors to carry current. Cisco UPOE and IEEE 802.3bt systems use all eight conductors to carry current. The following table lists the maximum current allowed under each standard and the associated per-cable and per-conductor current.
