Fault Symptom Corrective Action
Green LED on PEM fails to
light
1. Make sure the circuit breaker on the PEM is turned on.
2. Make sure the PEM is properly seated and screwed in place.
3. Make sure power leads are properly connected to power connectors
on the backplane. If connections are loose or their polarity is
reversed, chassis does not receive power.
4. Check the external power source.
5. Move the PEM to the other PEM slot. If the PEM still fails, replace it.
PEM experiences problems
in one slot but operates
normally in a different slot
1. Ensure that the input power to both slots is correct.
2. If the problem persists, contact the Cisco TAC.
Fault LED is lit yellow
1. Check to see if the circuit breaker (on/off switch) has tripped. If it
has, return the switch to the on position.
2. Replace PEM with a known good replacement.
3. Contact the Cisco TAC.
Miswire LED is lit yellow If the MISWIRE LED is on, the power cables are reversed. Power off the
PEM and the external power source and reconnect the wires correctly.
