Note
When the switch exceeds the intake temperature threshold of 40 degrees Celsius and does not decrease
to within the threshold limits in 120 seconds, the switch powers off and the power supplies must be
re-seated to recover the switch.
Expansion Module Diagnostics
During the switch bootup or reset, the bootup diagnostics include tests for the in-service expansion modules
in the switch.
When you insert an expansion module into a running switch, a set of diagnostics tests are run. The following
table describes the bootup diagnostics for an expansion module. These tests are common with the bootup
diagnostics. If the bootup diagnostics fail, the expansion module is not placed into service.
