Maintaining Power Supplies in EX9253 Switches

Purpose

For optimum switch performance, verify the condition of the power supplies installed in the chassis.

Action

On a regular basis:

  • Check the status of the power supplies by issuing the show  chassis  environment  pem command. The output for EX9253 switches is similar to the following:

  • 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 faceplate to determine whether the power supplies are functioning normally.

  • Check the alarm LED on the front panel. Power supply failure or removal triggers an alarm that causes the LED to light. You can display the associated error messages by issuing the following command:

  • Periodically inspect the site to ensure that the grounding and power cables connected to the switch are securely in place and that there is no moisture accumulating near the switch.
