Cisco CATALYST 6509E 9 SLOT 15U CHASSIS NO POWER SUPPLY NO FAN TRAY Specification Guide

The information in this chapter applies to all Catalyst 6500 series switches (Catalyst 6503, 
Catalyst 6503-E, Catalyst 6504-E, Catalyst 6506, Catalyst 6506-E, Catalyst 6509, Catalyst 6509-E, 
Catalyst 6509-NEB, Catalyst 6509-NEB-A, and Catalyst 6513) unless otherwise noted.

This chapter describes how to troubleshoot the Catalyst 6500 series switch hardware installation and 
contains these sections:

If your system has problems, use the information in this chapter to help isolate the cause. Problems with 
the initial startup are often caused by a switching module that has become dislodged from the backplane 
or a power supply that has been disconnected from the power cord connector. Although temperature 
conditions above the maximum acceptable level rarely occur at initial startup, you might encounter these 
conditions during extended operation. Long-term monitoring functions also include independent 
reporting of DC-output voltage problems.

This chapter covers only the chassis component hardware aspects of troubleshooting. For 
module-specific information, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide.

When the initial system startup is complete, verify the following:

Power supplies are supplying power to the system. 

The system fan assembly is operating.
