Environmental monitoring
The S4810 components use environmental monitoring hardware to detect transmit power readings, receive
power readings, and temperature updates. To receive periodic power updates, the
enable optic-info-update
interval
command must be enabled. The output in Figure 14-6 displays the environment status of the RPM.
Figure 14-6. show interfaces transceiver Command Example
Recognize an over-temperature condition
An over-temperature condition occurs, for one of two reasons:
• The card genuinely is too hot.
• A sensor has malfunctioned.
Inspect cards adjacent to the one reporting the condition to discover the cause.
• If directly adjacent cards are not normal temperature, suspect a genuine overheating condition.
• If directly adjacent cards are normal temperature, suspect a faulty sensor.
When the system detects a genuine over-temperature condition, it powers off the card. To recognize this
condition, look for the system messages in Message 3.
