Chassis Alarm Conditions and Corrective Actions

Alternative boot media

The Services Router boots from an alternative boot device—the removable compact flash disk or the USB storage device.

Typically, the router boots from the primary compact flash disk. If you configured your router to boot from an alternative boot device, ignore this alarm condition.

If you did not configure the router to boot from an alternative boot device, contact JTAC. (See Requesting Support.)

Yellow (minor)

PIM

A PIM has failed.

When a PIM fails, it attempts to reboot. If the Routing Engine detects that a PIM is rebooting too often, it shuts down the PIM.

Replace the failed PIM. (See the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.)

Red (major)

Routing Engine

An error occurred during the process of reading or writing compact flash.

Reformat the compact flash and install a bootable image. (See Performing Software Upgrades and Reboots.)

If this remedy fails, you must replace the failed Routing Engine. To contact JTAC, see Requesting Support.

Yellow (minor)

Routing Engine temperature is too warm.

• Check the room temperature. (See the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.)
• Check the air flow. (See the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.)
• Check the fans. (See the J-series Services Router Getting Started Guide.) If you must replace a fan or the Routing Engine, contact JTAC. (See Requesting Support.)
