console screen:
%SYS-1-OVERTEMP: System detected OVERTEMPERATURE condition. Please resolve cooling
problem immediately!
Some causes of abnormally high router temperature are:
• Fan failure

• Air blockage to cooling vents
Take steps to correct the problem. See also the “Site Environment” section on page 2-4, and the
“Equipment Racks” section on page 2-5.

Network problems can be caused by a module; cables or cable connections; or external devices such as
a modem, transceiver, hub, wall jack, WAN interface, or terminal. Check for the following symptoms to
help isolate the problem:
Tip All of the documents mentioned in this section are available both on the Documentation CD-ROM
and online.
• Module is not recognized by the router.

module is installed. For information on these LEDs, see the “Reading Front-Panel LEDs”
section on page A-4.

Check the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide or accompanying configuration
note for the affected module’s software requirements.
• Module is recognized, but interface ports do not initialize.
– Make sure that the module and interface card are firmly seated in their slots.

interface card. Check the Cisco Network Modules Hardware Installation Guide and the
Cisco Interface Cards Hardware Installation Guide or accompanying configuration notes for
the affected network module’s and interface card’s software requirements.
• Router does not boot properly, or constantly or intermittently reboots.
– Make sure that all modules are firmly seated in their slots.
