Determining that a PFU has Failed
The chassis can use one of several mechanisms to indicate a PFU failure. The first indicator is when the POWER LED
on the PFU is off. If the LED is off and a starPowerState SNMP trap is generated with a value of Failed (2), the PFU
must be replaced.
If you do not receive this trap, try the following suggestions to diagnose the cause:
ï‚· Verify that the power switch is in the ON position.
ï‚· Verify that the RTN and -VDC lugs are attached according to the instructions provided in this document.
ï‚· Verify that the ground lug is attached according to the instructions provided in this document.
ï‚· Verify that the power source is on and is supplying the correct voltage and sufficient current.
ï‚· Check the cables from the power source to the rack for continuity.
ï‚· If a fuse panel is installed between the Power Distribution Frame (PDF) and the chassis, verify that the fuses are
intact.
ï‚· If a fuse panel is installed between the PDF and the chassis, check the cables from the fuse panel to the chassis
for continuity.
