C3750X - Power supply OIDs problems

Hello,
We are trying to monitor two stacks of CISCO WS-c3750X running IOS 12.2.(58)SE.
We can get the state of the power supplies, but after a power cycle or reboot of the switches the identifier of ONE of the Power supplies ALWAYS change. The OIDs for the rest of the PS do not vary. The problem happens in the two stacks.
Any idea or work around?
Kind regards
Mark                  

Hi,
I'm trying to determine if the issue addressed in this post is a match with the following symptom:
As you can see from the output below - the switch 2 power supplies appear to be healthy:
SWITCH#show env power switch 1
SW  PID                 Serial#     Status           Sys Pwr  PoE Pwr  Watts
1A  C3KX-PWR-350WAC     AZS161707F3  OK              Good     Good     350/0
1B  C3KX-PWR-715WAC     LIT16180RRU  OK              Good     Good     715/0
SWITCH#show env power switch 2
SW  PID                 Serial#     Status           Sys Pwr  PoE Pwr  Watts
2A  C3KX-PWR-715WAC     LIT16180RRY  OK              Good     Good     715/0
2B  C3KX-PWR-350WAC     AZS161707FZ  OK              Good     Good     350/0
Yet, the snmpwalk output shows a Sw2 PS2 power supply fault:
              snmpwalk -v1 X.X.X.X  -c READONLY .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.13.1.5.1
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.13.1.5.1.2.1035 = STRING: "Sw1, PS1 Normal, RPS NotExist"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.13.1.5.1.2.1036 = STRING: "Sw1, PS2 Normal, RPS NotExist"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.13.1.5.1.2.2034 = STRING: "Sw2, PS1 Normal, RPS NotExist"
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.9.9.13.1.5.1.2.2035 = STRING: "Sw2, PS2 Faulty, RPS NotExist"
Do my symptoms match with the issue addressed in this post ?
TIA,
Amir

  • Mac Pro 2,1 Spontaneous Restart with No Boot - Power Supply PSU Problem?

    One day I was working away on my Mac Pro 2,1 Quad Core 3.0 (2007) with 8 gb ram running Lion and it just shut itself off like someone pulled the power cord (but no one did of course). Then it attempted to restart, but wouldn't boot. Basically I haven't been able to use it since as I can't get the computer to stay on for any length of time.
    I'm thinking its either the power supply or the, oh no, logic board.
    Symptoms have been like this so far:
    Initially I would get a chime and a boot start but then I would find the computer would shut itself off somewhere in the process and try to restart. Usually the next time I would get no chime and a horrible repeated clicking of my optical drive with a rythmic fan whirring up and down on the original ATI x1900 xt graphics card. I would have to manually power off with the power button to make it stop. Sometimes it would try to restart again anyway. The only way I could get a chime again was to unplug and wait (longer the better). But even if i got a chime and a start of a boot, invariably the computer would turn off again.
    I couldn't boot from another source, I couldn't run apple hardware test, I couldn't run diagnostic,... it just wouldn't stay on to do it.
    I hauled my mac pro (out of warranty) to the apple store genius bar and the problem presented itself, continuously. The gent was able to get fsck to work long enough to determine my hard drive was ok and said it was one of three things - the power supply, the graphics card, or the logic board. He said because the comp powered on and then shut off, and because there was intermittent chiming, he didn't think it was the power supply. He thought it was the graphics card and said I could leave my Mac for 10 days and they could take a looksy, or I could just install a new graphics card on my own.
    I chose the latter, bought a ATI Radeon 5770 from the apple online store for $275 and installed it.
    Problem persists.Exactly the same as before. Got initial chime, then next time no chime, optical drives clicking and graphics card fan whirring up and down rhythmically.
    I had a touch of time to disconnect everything and I get a chime consistently now when I have my boot drive, graphics card, 4 gb ram, and monitor attached. (As well as wireless mouse, keyboard, trackpad). I even got to logon once only to have a prompt shut off and restart attempt. also I verified it was at least one optical drive clicking (when I removed them both) during these boot attempts.
    The improvement in chiming seemed to be when I unseated one ram riser ( I have to with 2 x 2g ram modules each).
    I also checked the diagnostic leds on the logic board and all was as it should be... says I got trickle power and rail power etc.
    Is there anything else I can do to determine what's wrong? What do you guys think is wrong? Could it be bad RAM? Power Supply? Logic Board?
    All your help is massively appreciated in advance!

    Well I ran as many tests as I could with no definitive results to the point I would have to start buying replacement parts and testing that way. I opted to take it back to the apple store and they said it's (dun dun dun dunnnnn) the logic board.

  • Post Power Supply replacement problems

    Hello,
    I'm trying to resuscitate my PowerMac G5 after a power supply failure and I'm having some issues. I've reached the end of my expertise and so I need to reach out to the community in hopes of being pointed in the right direction.
    So here's the series of event that led me to where I'm at right now along with some symptoms:
    - My PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 (june 2004) died in a puff of smoke one day, smelled like burnt plastic. I was pretty sure it was a power supply issue. My computer does not qualify for the Apple extended PSU replacement program. After the death, the power supply would click whenever it was plugged in but otherwise the computer was unresponsive.
    - I ordered in a new 600W power supply and replaced the toasted one. I took care to place the CPUs back exactly where they were to avoid having to re-calibrate them.
    - I plugged my computer back in with the same configuration minus the second hard drive. The primary hard drive should be bootable.
    - The first time I powered it on it had no monitor or keyboard/mouse connected. The fans went off at normal speed, the chime chimed and then the fans went full speed.
    - I powered it off and plugged in a keyboard/mouse and monitor and now when I power it on I can hear the fans, then the chime then the CD drive reads a bit of the CD and then that's it. No video.
    - It somehow seems to ignore the keyboard and mouse: I can't use the keyboard to reset the PRAM. I can't use the mouse to open the CD tray.
    - Powering the computer down requires the "press and hold for 2 sec" versus the immediate power down like when the computer is in Target Disk mode.
    - The power status led doesn't flash in anyway at boot, indicating no problem with the RAM, ROM or processors.
    - The diagnosis lights inside the mac are not lit until I remove the plastic cover which triggers the default behavior of running the fans at full speed. Then the led lights up.
    - I reset the PMU but it didn't seem to make a difference.
    - I tried accessing the disk in Target Disk mode but since the keyboard appears to be ignored I don't think the G5 even gets in Target Disk mode. In any case it doesn't mount on the remote computer.
    - I notice that the fan on the video card doesn't spin. The video card is an ATI 800XT with a Zallman fan and heatsync installed.
    I'd be tempted to say that the video card got fried with the PSU failure but then shouldn't I be able to use the keyboard to reset the PRAM and such ? The fact that I'm unable to do that leads me to believe that perhaps a part of the logic board or the front panel got fried...
    How would I go about troubleshooting this without buying a new logic board and front panel ?
    Any ideas ?

    Going through the exact same issue started about 1.5 weeks ago thinking about giving up and buying a Mac mini for access and snow leopard.

  • HP6032A Power supply GPIB problems

    I saw a reply some time ago to someone who was having trouble with an HP6032A
    power supply.
    I'm having trouble communicating reliably (reading from it, I think), and
    my system (Mac) hangs constantly. If I limit the reads, I can go for several
    days, but I normally read from it several times per minute and it hangs within
    hours.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem?

    David,
    Don't know if this will help or not. I have had trouble with some
    of the HP Power Supplies (I think the 6032 among them).
    I found that if I did not use the error checking it worked much better.
    These are kinda cranky you might check all the settings and make sure
    you are using the correct protocol and looking for the right number of
    bytes.
    Hope this helps

  • Power supply fan problem?

    My G5 has been making this noise intermittantly - but more often - and it seems to be coming from the area near the bottom of the computer, underneath the main compartment where the processors, HD, etc are. It sounds like a dying fan or the like to me. What do you think? Is there anything I can do, or should I bring it in to Apple?
    http://www.nd.edu/~jcolman/noise.aif
    PowerMac G5 (Dual 2.3)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    I had a similar problem. You can try cleaning the fans first, but you may have a bad bearing in one of the fans. I ended up having the PS replaced.
    Cleaning a Power Mac G5's Power Supply Fans >>
    To troubleshoot the problem, put the computer to sleep, stick the plastic nozzle from a can of compressed air though the front grill on the lower right as the red arrows indicate to block one of the PS fan blades from going around. Wake the computer back up and see if the noise is still there. Mine wasn't, so I pulled the nozzle out while the computer was running and the noise started up when the fan started running. I knew I had a bad fan motor then and had the PS replaced. There are two PS fans as you can see in the picture, so you can test each one this way. Good luck!

  • Replaced power supply same problem

    took my imac g5 to apple store where genius told me it needed a new power supply because machine would not turn on and when it did just to gray apple screen Even though the serial number was in the range for extended repair program, i was told mine was to old and did not fall under any repair program. I replaced power supply same issue of gray/white apple screen and fan kicks on loud. reset pram, reset smu, checked diagnostic led lights 1,2,3 all light as they should. Cannot start up with discs either. Anyone with any ideas it would be much appreciated.

    What a bummer! If you can get hold of the reseller, go after him for legal discs, if you can't get him, call Apple at 800-767-2775 and they will send you an appropriate set for a nominal fee.

  • Xserve G5 power supply ? problem

    Well I bought a dead G5 Xserve on eBay (yeah, I know). followed the "system completely dead…" check in the Xserve repair PDF. Battery was dead, replaced that and reset PMU, nothing. Checked for voltage across the power supply pins. The only reasonable way I could find to do this with the power supply installed was to remove the bracket that holds the retaining thumbscrew, this exposes the solder joints for the pins on top of the connector. Checked for voltage across pins 1 and 8 and came up with zero. Bought a used "working" power supply on eBay and installed that along with a new battery, reset the PMU, checked for voltage at my power cord, plugged it in and pushed the start button. Fans came on lights blinking away as there was no RAM installed. Shut it down. Boughtt a couple of gigs of RAM and installed that along with a video card from a B & W G3 yosemite tower that was confirmed by a couple of sources as a cheap way to get video out. All of this installing and removing following ESD precautions. Pushed the start button…nothing. Removed both the RAM and the card…nothing. Checked for voltage at those pins—nothing. Bought a new in box Apple repair kit with a power supply, fan array and PCI fan. Installed all three of those with a fresh battery, reset PMU, pushed the start button…wait for it…nothing. Checked the power supply pins, zip for voltage. These parts looked to be brand new, free of any dust or signs of human meddling. Now even if every other part of this machine was trash, I should still get some trickle power out of a good power supply—yes? Am I really missing the boat here? I have checked the front panel connections and that the button actually presses the switch. Checked the connectoion from the MLB to the interconnect board and they are all clean, sound connections. This thing is in imaculate condition, no corrosion of any kind on the logic board or anywhere else. It is the revised MLB with the 2Gig RAM printed on it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • Power Supply Question/Problem

    From the specs in my profile, do you guys think i have a power supply powerful enough? I belive my +12 rail is to low for my system. is it possible that my system is running at half performance? what is the minimum power requirements for my system?
    Thanks in advance.

    Quote from: Koopie on 05-March-06, 04:50:59
    Yes i know its risky but i have my fans spinning at half power so i turn then on full power when i'm in playing games. Thanks for all replies
    half power -> full power? That means it consumes MORE current. The fan is also powered by +12V, you're taking some more 1~2% off the input power required by the CPU!
    Somemore, overclocking has no promises everything works fine. It could be the RAM gets corrupted, the PCIe bus gets corrupted, or the SATA bus gets corrupts etc.
    It's not that we're trying to blame on you for overclocking. This is just a matter of fact. You may try not to overclock and see if your system is stabler. You could also increase slightly your Vcore and also DDR for better stability.
    Run Prim95, Run memtest86. See if your system is truly stable.

  • Power supply connection problems

    I have an HP Compaq 6715b and have gone through several power supplies - it does not take long before I lose connection between the male/female connection. I try to be gentle but this keeps happening, what is the problem? Is there a problem at the female end (inside the computer)? Would a docking station solve the problem? It seems to be an expensive solution jjust to get power.
    Thanks
    Greg

    What is rating of the AC Adapter you got?
    Based on the specification, you should be using a 90W AC Adapter such as 463955-001.
    If you were using a 65W AC Adapter, then it is likely the 65W AC Adapter were running too hot and in turn cut down the life expectancy of this 65W AC Adapter.
    If you were using a 90W AC Adapter, I think you are just unlucky to get some of the bad units.
    Yes. A Docking will help. It is because it uses a 135W AC Adapter to the docking station and your laptop will get power via the docking connector at the bottom of your notebook.
    However, there are so many type of HP docking stations and you need to make sure to order one for your notebook.

  • [PT880-Neo LSR]Power supply problem

    Hello,
    We've installed the new motherboard today, it model is PT880 Neo LSR. Well we've got everything plugged in, but when we try to turn on our computer it doesn't turn on.
    There is a case switch, but when turn on, the fans work for like 1 second then it stop.
    I've tried the Troubleshooting guide on the website, and studying the Manual, but I could not find a way to fix this.
    Can anyone help us fix this power supply problem please?
    Thanks

I only heard a sound psssst, and nothing run. I tested it many time and it still not work. Then I UNPLUG the 4-pin connector from the power supply to the mainboard, and test again, this time, only all the fan RUN except the the fan in the power supply DID NOT run. Is it because that the power supply got problem? I used another power supply 420w to test but nothing run either.

    The psssst sound----sounds like something shorted out. Pull everything out and put it back in with a different PSU.
    Don't put a hard drive or floppy in-----just CPU, RAM mobo, vid card, fans, PSU-----see if it will post.

  • C3750X get power supply errors

    Hi, I got a problem with some phones connected to a C3750X-48PS. Phones are Polycom SoundPoint 560. Ports most critical: gig 1/0/9 & 1/0/31.
    Actually, the C3750X belongs to a stack, with the IOS: 12.2(55)SE3.  The environment conditions: power supply working ok, temperature level: ok. (show env all). Physically the LEDs are in green, and the room does not have temperature issues.
    Also, the phones present a humming noise (high pitch). The noise keeps happening even if the phones are plugged in other ports of a stack. It was attempted to connect the phones directly to the stack ports instead of the ports in the cubicules, and the issue keeps happening.
    The Stack presents also sudden fan to spin up / spin down for a couple of minutes, and within a couple of minutes from working on and off.
    Customer has another facility with the same switches but with IOS12.2(55)SE1, in there the same phones were tested and they are working fine.
    A reboot was performed, but now the C3750X show these messages:
    %ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER_PORT_ERR: Controller port error, Interface Gi1/0/9: Power Controller reports power Tstart error detected
    %ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER_PORT_ERR: Controller port error, Interface Gi1/0/31: Power Controller reports power Tstart error detected
    Thanks!

    I've found it!  In case anyone is wondering, a lot of server information is available by querying with the iLO xml tag "GET_EMBEDDED_HEALTH".
    This returns, buried way down in the results, information about power supplies (section POWER_SUPPLIES).
    While there doesn't seem to ask for just information on the power supplies, this works!

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU power supply problem

    Hello !
    I am a lucky owner of MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard but have one problem. My power supply Fortron (FSP Group) 300-GT 300W seems to have some kind of incompatibility with this motherboard. In my case, the computer can't be shutted down by software. With BIOS version 2.5 it was impossible to shut it down with button too. With 2.6 it is possible to turn the computer off by button but software shutdown still don't work. PSU is working on ALL other boards I have tested so far normally. Somewhere in discussions (not in this forums) I discovered that also some kind of weird sounds occurs with Fortron supply on this board and that it is incompatible. Have anyone some clues to solve this PSU problem ? I am not able momentally to buy some other kind of PSU because Fortron is the only brand from higher category to obtain, so I would be like to solve this.....
    Thanks for any info !

  • Power Supply??? Anyone have this problem?

    Hello everyone!
    I have a few different things I am going to post but at the end they all go together so if you are bored read on.
    I own an '07 Mac Pro 3GHz 8-Core and one day I started it up and it didn't come one. It had power but no video. I restarted it maybe 6 or so times for it to finally come on.
    2 months later I start it up(yes I used it between this time) and it gets to the desktop and shuts off. I then try to start it and nada. So the next morning I try again and it chimes, gets to the gray apple screen and shuts off and has not started since.
    I took it to an Apple repair shop(not Apple store but certified) and they are scratching their heads because this is usually a sure logic Board issue or Processor.
    I myself had taken the time to fool with the diagnostic buttons and yes the Trickle Amber lights comes on but when I let go of he diagnostic button on the CPU1 & CPU2 Overtemp lights flashed.
    So with no way to know what this means I just took a mental note about what lights did what and when.
    PART 2
    I had been searching the webtubes anywhere and everywhere for Apple Service Manuals but to no end. They seemingly don't exist.
    Well not so fast. Not only did I find the Mac Pro Service Manual for my '07 I found the '08 and others all for free.
    So with the info I thought for sure I could figure out the problems with my computer but the repair shop still had it. Turns out the repair shop was so used to the Logic/Processor thing they hadn't actually really diagnosed the LED's properly as I assisted them in doing once I read the manual.
    As I read the LED meanings it became quite clear to me what the problem is but yet I couldn't understand how.
    To me the Amber Trickle LED meant that the power supply was ok but this isn't the case. There is an LED I think number 6 or 7 that when the front button is pressed turns green to show the Power Supply is up to par.
    Just from keeping notes in my head I remember studying the LEDs and never did a green light show ever.
    Armed with this I went to the shop today where the tech downloaded the Service Manual while I was there and we went over it together at which point I said to him that there was no Green Light.
    So while he boringly read through the LED explanations I stared at his certifications and his cool little collection of Sponge Bob items which I love by the way. After a boring repeat of yada yada yada we make the anticipated trip over the the hog on the counter.
    Just like I thought... no green light.
    Now I can't believe all this hoopla over that. Something so simple was overlooked for a week.
    I look at it like this. People tell me now, oh yeah it makes sense that it would be that now that it is saying that from the diagnosis LEDs but not one person even suggested that prior.
    And I went and purchased a new 2.26GHz 8-core because I couldn't wait any longer for it to be fixed and thinking it was gonna be $700-$2000.
    Any thoughts???

    It is very simple trust me.
    I guess when the plug is in it still gets power(trickle power) enough to do little things and/or diagnose but the main power to boot up and run can still not work.
    My guess is that it is made this way so they can still diagnose problems even when a power supply bites the dust so you know it is bad as well.
    About the Overtemp lights here is the deal.
    If you look at an '07 Mac Pro(can't speak for newer) behind the riser cards there is a row of LED's and words to explain why they are on, blink or whatever they do.
    Things like TRICKLE POWER, CPU1 & CPU2 FAIL, CPU1 & CPU2 OVERTEMP, and others.
    Just like the SMC button there are two other buttons on the Logic Board near these LEDs'
    If you press them they diagnose the computers issues and make the lights come on depending on the issue.
    BUT...
    There are some of the LEDs that come on to show you power without having to press the diagnosis button. For example the LED #6 or #7(not sure) come on when the power is on, and in this case they don't, showing the Power Supply is not putting out the power. Even if it does and the power isn't sufficient this light will not turn on.
    So...
    When you hit the power button only the Fan and Drives spin due to the Trickle Power(from what I have read) but the Logic Board is not getting power from the Power Supply to start up as shown by the GREEN LED not lighting up to indicate the Power Supply is working.
    That is a pretty good explanation as good as it can be.
    I can post a photo tomorrow when I get my new computer up and running to show you the Board and you will be like Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is simple.
    As far as the fix. yes I would have just got a Power Supply but it was not know at the time. I basically figured it out myself.
    I have no regrets about buying the new machine. I have clients that need their stuff done and I love to do it, plus now this will become my Maya machine until it is needed for backup or something.
    NOTE: Who wouldn't still be excited to get the latest and greatest.

  • IMac G5 20" power supply problem

    The power supply on my 20" G5 recently fried. Somehow I had the activity monitor showing that the "FaxJobMgr" was using about 70% of my cpu. I had had that problem before and the computer was very warm. I quit that process but shortly after that there was an acrid smell that I ultimately found was coming from the power supply. When I re-started everything came up to the desktop but then it shut down just as if the plug were pulled. I see that there were many issues with the power supply on this first generation G5. I took it to the Apple Store and they say it is the power supply AND there appears to also be damage to the logic board. $734. I'm wondering if maybe its only the power supply and they are just being cautious that there might be damage to the logic board so just replace it or buy a new computer. I thought I might try to replace the power supply only, but then that seems to be about a $120 that might be gone. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Generally speaking, the defects which affect a logic board and power supply in that family of products are similar, but there typically exists no causal link between them. It is possible to have a logic board affected by the defective electrolytic capacitor issue, a defective power supply, or both.
    You can readily determine if the logic board is defective by examining the clusters of capacitors on the logic board for bloating, distended tops or leakage. If they exhibit such symptoms, your logic board can be repaired for $ 189.00 by contacting this company.
    You may also need to replace the power supply, thought that determination is best made once the logic board as been verified as good or bad, and replaced, if you elect to do so. Power supplies for this product family generally cost roughly $ 139.00, and are user replaceable. Replacing the supply in a unit which exhibits the defective capacitor issue will not correct the logic board related problem, and may—under relatively rare circumstances—cause the eventual failure of the replacement supply.

  • IMac G5 bluetooth + airport + power supply problems - oh and the dvd drive

    Yeah, seems like a lot is going wrong with my mac lately. I bought the iMac G5(no isight) model last year around july. I had some power issues (i.e. leaving the house with it turned on to come home and find it off) For the last year though that was all that was wrong. Once I had to reinstall OS X because it would not find the OS X harddrive during one of these power losses, but that was it.
    Then about two weeks ago, I came home to a turned off iMac. I thought the power had gone out in my apartment, but the clocks were all right, and to my surprise the iMac would not turned on. Because I am not under warranty I searched online and found an extended exchange program for my emc model. (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/powersupply/repairextension/) I made an appt at the apple store and they replaced the power supply.
    I got the machine back two nights ago and my bluetooth hardware wasn't recognized. And I now had a new "ink" system preference panel in the hardware section which aparently is some sort of handwriting recognition tablet. It ticked me off, but I just wanted to use my computer.
    Well today I came home from work and my computer was acting funny. Everywhere I clicked brought up dashboard. This had never happened before and I had no choice but to force a shutdown. Powered it back up and poof, there goes my airport card. No hardware recognized. Now I have a 25 ft cable running the floor of my apartment. This was cause enough to call apple. I was told to make another apointment to bring the computer in. The guy made it sound like it was no big deal to lug a 30 lb bulky computer 40 miles and through a crowded mall. He also made no promises that the repairs would be covered under the exchange program.
    I just wanted to hear any suggestions before I decide whether or not its worth it to bring in the computer. Nothing shows up in system profiler under bluetooth or airport. Should I just lie to the "genius" and tell them that my computer still shuts down randomly? I think that way they would at least replace the logic board (which I think is the problem) before telling me to sell my kidney and pay for repairs. I've tried reseting the SMU, and I looked at the bluetooth and airport cards to see if they had been accidently disconnected during the PS replacement. They are actually screwed into the logic board so I think their connections are efficient.
    Oh and about the DVD drive. I have to use two cd's in order to burn a single disc. The first disc I put in the drive NEVER works. It spins for about 30 seconds then starts buzzing like blender and spits the cd back out. The second blank disc I put in USUALLY works, but sometimes it takes three discs. This problem has always been there since day 1, but I don't burn enough cd's for it to be an issue.
    Thank you for listening to my gripes. I really don't think I'll make the mistake of buying the first issue of a model.

    OK, first thing -to restore your bluetooth, shut down, unplug for a few minutes and then reboot. Thay usually brings the BT back. You should also repair permissions. Reset your SMU nd your PRAM as well.
    Try those four things and please post back,
