Power Supply Status Indicators and Alerts
The N55-PAC-1100W-B Cisco Nexus 5500 1100 Watt Power Supply has several status indicators and alerts that provide information about the power supply’s status and any potential issues. These include:
- Power supply status LED: This LED is located on the front panel of the power supply and indicates the status of the power supply. The LED will be green when the power supply is operating normally, and will turn amber if there is a problem with the power supply.
- Power supply fault LED: This LED is located on the front panel of the power supply and indicates if there is a fault with the power supply. The LED will be green when the power supply is operating normally, and will turn red if there is a fault with the power supply.
- Power supply status alarms: The Cisco Nexus 5500 switch can generate alarms when the power supply status changes. These alarms can be viewed through the switch’s management interface and will indicate if there is a problem with the power supply.
- Power supply redundancy status: The power supply redundancy status can be viewed through the switch’s management interface. This will indicate if the power supply is operating in a redundant configuration and if there is a problem with the power supply redundancy.
- Power supply temperature: The power supply temperature can be viewed through the switch’s management interface. This will indicate the temperature of the power supply and if it is exceeding the recommended temperature range.
