Maintenance and Troubleshooting Tips
- Verify that the input voltage and frequency match the requirements for the PIX-506-PWR-AC Cisco Redundant AC Power Supply.
- Check the power supply status LED indicator. If it is not lit, or is flashing, it may indicate a problem with the power supply.
- Check the power cables for damage or loose connections. Make sure that the cables are securely connected to the power supply and the device it is powering.
- Check the cooling fans for proper operation. If the fans are not functioning properly, the power supply may overheat and shut down.
- Clean the power supply and surrounding area to ensure proper ventilation and cooling.
- Use the Cisco IOS command “show power” to check the power supply status and voltage.
- If the power supply is still not working properly, contact Cisco support for assistance or consider replacing the power supply.
- Regularly check the device temperature, if the device temperature is high it may cause the power supply to shut down, it’s better to place the device in a cool and ventilated area.
- If you are using Redundant Power supply, check the power supply status of both power supply units, and if one of them is not working properly, replace it.
- If you are using the power supply for a long time, consider replacing it with a new one as power supply may wear out with time.
