Grounding the Chassis Chassis and Power Supplies
page 3-26 OmniSwitch 6570M Hardware Users Guide December 2022
Grounding the Chassis
The switch has a grounding lug located on the front or rear of the chassis. This lug uses 10-32 screws and
is surrounded by a small paint-free area, which provides metal-to-metal contact for a ground connection.
Use this connector to supplement the ground provided by the AC power cord. To do so, install a Panduit
Grounding Lug (type LCD8-10A-L) using 8AWG copper conductors to the paint-free area.
Refer to the chassis views on page 3-2 for location details.
Monitoring Chassis Components
Viewing Chassis Slot Information
To view basic slot information, enter the show module command at the CLI prompt:
-> show module
To view more detailed information, use the show module long command:
-> show module long
Monitoring Chassis Temperature
The operating temperature of your switch is a critical factor in its overall operability. In order to avoid a
temperature-related system failure, your switch must always run at a temperature within the specified
operating temperature range.
To avoid chassis over-temperature conditions, follow the important chassis airflow recommendations on
page 3-9.
To check the switch’s current temperature status, use the show temperature command. For example:
-> show temperature
Chassis/Device | Current | Range | Danger | Thresh | Status
---------------+---------+------------+--------+--------+-----------------
1/CMMA 33 -45 to 93 98 93 UNDER THRESHOLD
For more information about this command, see the “Chassis Management and Monitoring Commands”
chapter in the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide.
Temperature Errors
The switch monitors the chassis temperature at all times via an onboard sensor. If an over-temperature
condition occurs, there are two different levels of error severity:
• Warning threshold (Thresh) temperature has been exceeded
