Troubleshoot An Over-Temperature Condition; Recognize An Under-Voltage Condition - Dell S6000–ON Configuration Manual

• If directly adjacent cards are not normal temperature, suspect a genuine overheating condition.
• If directly adjacent cards are normal temperature, suspect a faulty sensor.
When the system detects a genuine over-temperature condition, it powers off the card. To recognize this
condition, look for the following system messages:
CHMGR-2-MAJOR_TEMP: Major alarm: chassis temperature high (temperature reaches
or exceeds threshold of
[value]C)
CHMGR-2-TEMP_SHUTDOWN_WARN: WARNING! temperature is [value]C; approaching
shutdown threshold of [value]C
To view the programmed alarm thresholds levels, including the shutdown value, use the show alarms
threshold command.
Example of the show alarms threshold Command

Troubleshoot an Over-temperature Condition

To troubleshoot an over-temperature condition, use the following information.
1. Use the show environment commands to monitor the temperature levels.
2. Check air flow through the system. Ensure that the air ducts are clean and that all fans are working
correctly.
3. After the software has determined that the temperature levels are within normal limits, you can re-
power the card safely. To bring back the line card online, use the power-on command in EXEC
mode.
In addition, to control airflow for adequate system cooling, Dell Networking requires that you install
blanks in all slots without a line card.
NOTE: Exercise care when removing a card; if it has exceeded the major or shutdown thresholds,
the card could be hot to the touch.

Recognize an Under-Voltage Condition

If the system detects an under-voltage condition, it sends an alarm.
To recognize this condition, look for the following system message: %CHMGR-1-CARD_SHUTDOWN:
Major alarm: stack unit 2 down - auto-shutdown due to under voltage.
This message indicates that the specified card is not receiving enough power. In response, the system
first shuts down Power over Ethernet (PoE). If the under-voltage condition persists, line cards are shut
down, then the RPMs.
