Troubleshooting
Resolution
Either check the switch
•
itself or use the show env
command to check if a fan
on the switch has failed.
The
Catalyst 3524-PWR XL
switch can operate normally
with one failed fan. Replace
the switch at your
convenience.
•
Use the show env command
to check if an
overtemperature condition
exists. If it does:
–
Place the switch in an
environment that is
within 32 to 113°F
(0 to 45°C).
–
Make sure fan intake
and exhaust areas are
clear.
If a multiple-fan failure is
causing the switch to
overheat, replace the
switch.
Use the show POST
•
command to see which
POST test failed.
Make sure the switch is
connected to the LAN-to-phone
jack on the Cisco IP Phone.
