FRU monitoring
System Monitor monitors the health of each component of the switch. The following FRUS and
components are monitored:
• Fan — Configures fan settings
• Power — Configures power settings
• Temp — Displays the threshold for the temperature sensor component
• CID-card — Displays the threshold for the CID card component
• SFP — Displays the threshold for the small form factor pluggable (SFP) device
• compact-flash — Displays the threshold for the compact flash device
• MM — Displays the threshold for the management module
• LineCard — Displays the threshold for the line card
• SFM — Displays the threshold for the switch fabric module
System thresholds
System Monitor monitors the health of each component and, based on the threshold value, each
component can be in a marginal state or a down state. Possible states for all monitored FRUs are
removed, inserted, on, off, and faulty. A state of none indicates the switch is not configured. If the
FRU is removed, inserted, or goes into a faulty state, System Monitor sends a RASlog message or
an e-mail alert.
Refer to the “RAS System Messages” chapter of the Network OS Message Reference for details
about each RASlog message.
Alert notifications
System Monitor provides event notifications by way of RASlog messages or e-mail alerts, depending
on the configuration.
• RASlog — If a component is in a marginal state or a down state, System Monitor generates a
RASlog message to alert the user. It also generates a separate RASlog message for the overall
health of the switch.
• Email — An e-mail alert sends information about a switch event to a specified e-mail address.
The e-mail specifies the threshold and describes the event, much like an error message.
