Understanding How Power Management Works
These sections describe power management in the Catalyst 6500 series switches:
•Enabling or Disabling Power Redundancy
•Determining System Power Requirements
•Determining System Hardware Capacity
•Determining Sensor Temperature Threshold
Note In systems with redundant power supplies, both power supplies must be of the same wattage. The Catalyst 6500 series switches allow you to use both AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis. For detailed information on supported power supply configurations, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide.
The modules have different power requirements, and some configurations require more power than a single power supply can provide. The power management feature allows you to power all installed modules with two power supplies. However, redundancy is not supported in this configuration because the total power drawn from both power supplies is at no time greater than the capability of one supply. Redundant and nonredundant power configurations are described in the following sections.
To determine the power requirements for your system, see the "Determining System Power Requirements" section.
Enabling or Disabling Power Redundancy
To disable or enable redundancy (redundancy is enabled by default) from global configuration mode, enter the power redundancy-mode combined | redundant commands. You can change the configuration of the power supplies to redundant or nonredundant at any time.
To disable redundancy, use the combined keyword. In a nonredundant configuration, the power available to the system is the combined power capability of both power supplies. The system powers up as many modules as the combined capacity allows. However, if one power supply fails and there is not enough power for all of the previously powered-up modules, the system powers down those modules.
To enable redundancy, use the redundant keyword. In a redundant configuration, the total power drawn from both power supplies is not greater than the capability of one power supply. If one supply malfunctions, the other supply can take over the entire system load. When you install and power up two power supplies, each concurrently provides approximately half of the required power to the system. Load sharing and redundancy are enabled automatically; no software configuration is required.
To view the current state of modules and the total power available for modules, enter the show power command (see the "Viewing System Power Status" section).
Table 54-1 describes how the system responds to changes in the power supply configuration.
Powering Modules Off and On
To power modules off and on from the CLI, perform this task.
Note When you enter the no power enable module slot command to power down a module, the module's configuration is not saved.
This example shows how to power on the module in slot 3:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# power enable module 3
Viewing System Power Status
You can view the current power status of system components by entering the show power command as follows:
Router# show power
system power redundancy mode = redundant
system power total = 1153.32 Watts (27.46 Amps @ 42V)
system power used = 397.74 Watts ( 9.47 Amps @ 42V)
system power available = 755.58 Watts (17.99 Amps @ 42V)

You can view the current power status of a specific power supply by entering the show power command as follows:
Router# show power status power-supply 2

Router#
You can display power supply input fields by specifying the power supply number in the command. A new power-output field with operating mode is displayed for power supplies with more than one output mode. Enter the show env status power-supply command as follows:
Router# show env status power-supply 1
power-supply 1:
power-supply 1 fan-fail: OK
power-supply 1 power-input 1: AC low
power-supply 1 power-output-fail: OK
Router# show env status power-supply 2
power-supply 2:
power-supply 2 fan-fail: OK
power-supply 2 power-input 1: none <<< new
power-supply 2 power-input 2: AC low <<< new
power-supply 2 power-input 3: AC high <<< new
power-supply 2 power-output: low (mode 1) <<< high for highest mode only
power-supply 2 power-output-fail: OK
Power Cycling Modules
You can power cycle (reset) a module from global configuration mode by entering the power cycle module slot command. The module powers off for 5 seconds, and then powers on.
Determining System Power Requirements
The power supply size determines the system power requirements. When you use the 1000 W and 1300 W power supplies, you might have configuration limitations depending on the size of chassis and type of modules installed. For information about power consumption, refer to the Release Notes for Cisco IOS Release 12.2SXF and Rebuilds.
Determining System Hardware Capacity
With Release 12.2(18)SXF and later releases, you can determine the system hardware capacity by entering the show platform hardware capacity command. This command displays the current system utilization of the hardware resources and displays a list of the currently available hardware capacities, including the following:
•Hardware forwarding table utilization
•Switch fabric utilization
•CPU(s) utilization
•Memory device (flash, DRAM, NVRAM) utilization
This example shows how to display CPU capacity and utilization information for the route processor, the switch processor, and the LAN module in the Catalyst 6500 series switch:

Understanding How Environmental Monitoring Works
Environmental monitoring of chassis components provides early-warning indications of possible component failures, which ensures a safe and reliable system operation and avoids network interruptions. This section describes the monitoring of these critical system components, which allows you to identify and rapidly correct hardware-related problems in your system.
Note The power output mode threshold is now dynamic. On bootup, the output mode is set to Mode 1 (minimum capacity) to Mode 4 (maximum capacity) depending on the output power capacity. The power output mode threshold is set to the bootup value of the output mode sensor and is increased when new power inputs are connected after bootup. Whenever the power output mode drops below the power output mode threshold, a POWER_OUTPUT_MODE alarm is generated.
Monitoring System Environmental Status
To display system status information, enter the show environment [alarm | cooling | status | temperature] command. The keywords display the following information:
•alarm—Displays environmental alarms.
–status—Displays alarm status.
–thresholds—Displays alarm thresholds.
•cooling—Displays fan tray status, chassis cooling capacity, ambient temperature, and per-slot cooling capacity.
•status—Displays field-replaceable unit (FRU) operational status and power and temperature information.
•temperature—Displays FRU temperature information.
To view the system status information, enter the show environment command:
Router# show environment

Understanding LED Environmental Indications
The LEDs can indicate two alarm types: major and minor. Major alarms indicate a critical problem that could lead to the system being shut down. Minor alarms are for informational purposes only, giving you notice of a problem that could turn critical if corrective action is not taken.
When the system has an alarm (major or minor), that indicates an overtemperature condition, the alarm is not canceled nor is any action taken (such as module reset or shutdown) for 5 minutes. If the temperature falls 5°C (41°F) below the alarm threshold during this period, the alarm is canceled.
Table 54-2 lists the environmental indicators for the supervisor engine and switching modules.
Note Refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module Installation Guide for additional information on LEDs, including the supervisor engine SYSTEM LED.
