Appendix C Alarms The E1200i generates major and minor alarms for the following conditions: • • • • • • • • fan trays status Power Supply status RPMs status high temperature on RPMs line cards status high temperature on line cards SFMs status high temperature on SFMs. A major alarm is any fault that would render the E1200i non-functional. A minor alarm is any fault that threatens the operation of the E1200i.

SFMs and Alarms The number of SFMs present in the system when it boots determines the level of alarms sent when a tenth (redundant) SFM is removed or fails. At boot time, if ten SFMs are present and functioning, the E1200i system issues no alarms. However, if one SFM fails or is removed, the system sends a minor alarm stating that nine SFMs are present. The system requires eight functioning SFMs to pass traffic. At boot time, if eight SFMs are present and functioning, the E1200i system issues no alarms.
