Facility High Rx Power on 10DME card

Hi all
I found message "Facility high Rx Power" on 10DME card. So, I need to know what is the root cause and reason to get the message. Please give me the idea or comment.
Thanks
V
Note: Please see the picture from attach file

it is -8dBm threshold set on 10DME.
it is by default.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/optical/ps5724/ps2006/ps5320/product_data_sheet0900aecd803fc51a.html
in the link given above search for "DWDM Receive Side Optical Performances"
so by default we have a threshold of -8dBm high-Rx power and -20dBm for low-Rx power.
so now question is that from where we start getting -7dBm on trunk port, this we can ignore for now, as -7dBm is fine will not cause any issues.
so to clear alarm you can either change threhsold and put a 3 or 4 dB attenuator pad on trunk port of this 10DME.
i don't know your design, but we can even change VOA on add-drop cards.
but as i said -7dBm is fine, so just change threshold for now.
let me know what we need to do.

Facility low rx power error

I have a Cisco ONS router that is getting a "Facility low rx power" error on an OC192 card.
Anyone know what this means or how to troubleshoot? I can't seem to find much in the documentation.
thanks

I assume this is on ONS15454 MSPP (SDH), I've not seen this particular alarm before but it would indicate that the RX Optical Power is below the minimum threshold, this may be due to a failing laser in the TX Device or fibre plant degredation.
I am not aware that the MSPP variant has any remote monitoring facility to check the opical power levels like you can with the MSTP variant so I think you may have to disconnect the fibre and check with a light meter, I would start at the TX device and then follow it through to the RX device, as I said it may be that the laser is failing in which case it may be a good idea to have a spare card handy to replace the card while you have the service outage.
If you need to know the Optical Specs for the particular STM64 (OC-192) card you are using then while in card view click the Maintenance Tab then the Info Tab at the side, its not available for all cards but it does for the cards we have in one of our networks, failing that specifications for all cards can be found in Appendix A of the Reference Manual, this is a link to the Reference Manual page, just select right one for the software you are running:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/optical/ps2006/prod_technical_reference_list.html
Hope this helps, if not post up again and someone may be able to help further.

High CPU usage when graphics card is put at work

I have a 13inch Air with 2GB RAM and 256GB with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. All possible updates have been installed.
I noticed some tearing when trying to move program windows across the screen so I started checking the CPU usage. I saw that it is spiking to 25-35% when moving a window across the screen.When you drag down a window you can see the different copies of the top bar across the screen. Not smooth at all like on a standard PC windows system. Same issue when scrolling through webpages which spikes the cpu
I also noticed a high cpu usage when playing mkv files 25-30% while on an Atom HTPC i get a lower load playing the same file. The Air should be faster than an atom with a nvidia 9400m when playing video files.
I already tried updating the nvidia files to the latest version on their site by hacking the driver inf but this did not resolve the issue.
Has anyone experienced the same or know what could be causing the beavior?
Many thanks

Maybe my initial post was not clear so let me add some clarifications.
I have the problem with Aero disabled
I have the problem on the Apple site which does not have any flash content.
I have already hacked the lastest nvidia drivers to get them on my system which did not change anything. Can you provide a link to some other 'supported' beta drivers?
I am using the new 13 inch air so it has the newer graphics card so I would expect it to be faster than an old HTPC with a 9400m in it. I wasn't stating that my Air had a 9400m.
It would be great if someone you also do the test to check the cpu load:
- when playing a 720 mkv
- when dragging a window across the screen
Just open task manager and see if the CPU spikes.
Many thanks!

Need help with power supply & graphics card upgrades

I have a HP Pavilion p6320y that I bought 8 months ago. AMD Phenom II x4820 Quad Core processor. I play WoW and since the last big patch, have been suffering with low fps. I updated drivers and followed all the advice given to me by Blizz and finally figured out that my Nvidia GeForce 9100 (integrated graphics) isn't good enough anymore.
I checked my computer and discovered that I have a 300w power supply (12V) and read on another post here that something stronger than 300w is needed to run a decent graphics card.
Now for my questions:
How much of a power supply can I upgrade to without hurting my computer, but will be enough to run a good card?
What would be a good graphics card for this computer?
I've been looking at the Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express graphics card and wonder if that will work on my computer. Most of the nicer cards seem to be the PCI Express and I'm not sure if that will work.
Any advice will be most helpful. I have some experience with the inner workings of my PC and would like to fix this myself instead of running to the closest computer shop and paying someone else to. Thanks!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, you are starting out from a fairly low baseline with the integrated graphics. It will not cost much to have a substantial increase if all you want to do is run WoW without error messages. Yes, the 300w power supply is an issue and rules out any card that will require its own power (i.e. needs its own power cord like a hard drive) but there are several mid-grade cards that can run off bus power alone (i.e. just from the pci-e slot itself). Just taking a quick look at newegg.com I see the following:
GeForce 9400 under $50
Radeon HD 4650 under $50
GeForce 9500GT a little over $50
Any of these should get you where you want to be and not require a PS upgrade. The slot you have available is a PCI Express x16 slot so don't look at AGP cards; they will not work. If you want to install the card you mention you need to get a better PSU.

Can i use an external power supply to power second graphics card?

hello. i currently have an ATI 5870 in my 2010 Mac Pro. I want to throw a Quadro 4000 in there as well, but i need one more 6-pin power cable. can i plop the quadro into the second PCI slot, buy a PC desktop power supply and just let it sit on the outside next to my Mac Pro, and then just run a 6-pin power cable from the power supply into the Quadro? i realize that the Mac Pro door would could not be placed back on...but i could figure out some way to cover up the opening so that dust doesn't enter.
would this work? anyone tried?

Hi,
Just want to ask a question that is not clear on everything that I have read. If you don't switch off the external power what do you take the risk for? Could you burn something or the card will just continue to work (spin the fan) after you turn off the Mac Pro? Where is the dangerous part?
Thanks!

Problem with NEW H520 when installed new power supply & graphic card. Please help!

My H520 was working perfectly and was running FAST..especially when rebooting. ( It was AWESOME! )Then I installed a new power supply (Coolmax 400w) and a new graphic card (Sapphire Radeon HD6450) and then everything changed. Now my computer is booting very SLOWLY and all the programs are taking a long time to load too. I was getting a black screen for almost a full 2 minutes before the windows 8.0 screen would finally load up and then it hangs there for a few seconds and finally goes to the start screen in windows. But BEFORE I installed this new hardware, when I would reboot, I would see the Lenovo splash screen come up for a few short seconds and then it instantly went to the windows welcome screen. And even then I would barely have enough time to see the welcome screen before it instantly loaded into the windows start screen. Everything would load up fast on the desktop too and we'd be good to go. It all took about 30 SECONDS.
But now? It takes MINUTES to get everything going. After it FINALLY loads up (it takes almost 2 full minutes now!), everything hangs up. When you first click on the desktop, it takes a few seconds for all of the icons to pop up. Before I loaded the new hardware, everything loaded up instantly. I didn't even see the icons load because they were already there. But now I have to wait for them to load up before I can even see them. And it's like that with every program and web browser I try to use now. Everything hangs up at first and then finally loads. The programs work but they are sluggish.
So I uninstalled the new power supply and put back in the original 280w power supply and I took out the graphic card but it did no change. The machine is STILL running slow on everything it does and booting very slowly.
I have seen this problem mentioned elsewhere about Lenovo computers but there is never a solution. Please help! It took me a long time to save up for this computer and I have been babying it ever since. I will never be able to afford a new one or pay for tech repair. I need to fix this! I was so thrilled with this computer before the hardware upgrade. This is devastating to me that it is working so poorly now when all I was trying to do was upgrade it a little bit.    Now it's performing horribly and it's only 6 months old.
I ran a four hour test on the hard drive and it is fine. I ran all the system clean ups, optimizations, registry cleanups, windows disk cleaner, defragger and virus scans. Nothing is showing up as not working but there is CLEARLY a problem. It was never this slow.   And why is it STILL acting this slow even after I uninstalled all of the new hardware that made it start acting this way and went back to the original setup?
I'm trying to run a memory test on it now but the BIOS will NOT allow me to select another drive to boot from so I can't boot from the flash drive or CD drive to run the memory test. I have NO IDEA what to do next and I am starting to pull my hair out in frustration.
Please, is there anything that can be done to make it better again?
Any help would be HUGELY appreciated. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jennifer

I totally give up!! I restored everything to the ORIGINAL state with drivers AND hardware and STILL everything is not working properly like it was BEFORE the upgrade.
So this has been the WORST experience with Tech support EVER!! I have spent DAYS on the phone for HOURS with these technicians and nobody seems to know what they are doing. They put me on hold every 10 minutes and are gone for 10 to 15 minutes and when they come back, they seem all set on a new solution but when you ask them questions about it, they have NO CLUE how to answer and then they put you on hold again. Nothing gets solved and after HOURS on the phone, I just tell them to stop because we are getting no where but running around in circles that make no sense. THIS A NIGHTMARE!!
So I totally gave up on being able to upgrade this machine. To any future buyers, I STRONGLY recommend you do all upgrading BEFORE you get it home for the first time. Make sure you have your power supply and graphic card INCLUDED before you bring it home or you're mostly likely going to have a NIGHTMARE upgrading it later.    Technical support is a HORROR STORY and expect to be WAITING for LOOOOONNNNG periods of time both ON THE PHONE and ONLINE and probably ending up with NO SOLUTION in the end.
I've VERY upset with how this turned out!! I'm just gonna have to deal with the fact that my computer is permenantly messed up and NOBODY AT LENOVO knows how to fix it. So I'm stuck.
I decided to send back the new power supply and the new graphic card because of this nightmare with tech support. I put everything back to the way it was when I bought the computer and it is STILL acting up!! I just want to revert it back to factory settings .. INCLUDING THE BIOS... but Lenovo said I have to send the WHOLE computer back to them to do that. All I can do from home is restore from a point in the hard drive and that's not enough. I need a TOTAL CLEAN INSTALL. Everything needs to be wiped out and reset, not just restored to a previous restore point. I've done this multiple times and all it does is erase all the programs and stuff I put on the computer. The drivers and other codes are still the same. And then bugs come up and things get all wonky. I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I TRIED TO UPGRADE IT!!
I am NOT comfortable with Lenovo's "solution". I do NOT want to send my computer back to them for them to reset it with factory disks ESPECIALLY when they stated that they are NOT responsible for any damage in transport or otherwise. I have to buy extra packaging to make sure it gets there safely. They told me to use the original box and packaging, that is the only way they can be sure it will get there safe. Who has the original stuffing SIX MONTHS LATER?!?! I don't want to be sending my computer across the country to get jostled all over the place and have that add to the slowness of the hardware because it was jostled.
Can't I reset it from home? Can they not send ME the disks instead of me sending my whole computer to them?
I'm so incredibly frustrated with this. I hope somebody answers quickly and that I don't have to wait DAYS to get a response again.
I absolutely LOVED my Lenovo computer! And then I tried to upgrade it. BIG MISTAKE!! Now everything is totally messed up and Lenovo's customer support for technical problems is HORRID!!
Somebody please help. This is driving me crazy with frustration and totally breaking my heart. It took me a VERY long time to save up for this computer and it was my most loved possession. It was a reward for a lot of hard times and now it's all broken and acting slow. And it's only 6 months old.
Is there a solution to this very frustrating problem?
I just want it to go back to the way it was before.
And is there a very low cost KNOWN TO WORK WITH THIS MACHINE upgraded graphic card and power supply? Is there a very specific brand and make? If so, could you let me know what it is in case I try to upgrade it again someday?
Thank you for your time and for reading this!
Please have a FANTASTIC day today!!

How to maintain high battery power?

For MacBook Pro, the battery was built-in with system, unlike other ordinary notebook where they are detachable. Please suggest which below is the proper way to use with charger and battery so as to maintain high power battery life.
1. Whenever AC power is available, always connect charger with AC power supply, no matter whether the battery has been charged or not.
2. Connect charger only whenever battery power has been used up. Whenever battery has been charged, detach the charger so as to allow battery power to be used up again. The procedure will be iterated.
I suggested the Apple web page about battery, however I cannot interpret what the answer should be for my above question.
I look forward to a procedure so as to decrease the battery life depreciation. Perhaps you would noted that, for ordinary notebook, if their battery was continuously charged, no matter it has been charged fully or not, the battery life will be depreciated, where the maximum power would be lower and lower gradually even when it was fully charged. Therefore, in the old day, I would normally detach the battery and directly connect power supply so as to avoid battery power depreciation.
Please comment.

HI,
Open System Preferences/Energy Saver. Where you see Settings for, click that pop up menu and select Battery. Now click the Optimization button and select Better Battery Life.
*"Whenever AC power is available, always connect charger with AC power supply, no matter whether the battery has been charged or not"*
Yes.
*"Connect charger only whenever battery power has been used up. Whenever battery has been charged, detach the charger so as to allow battery power to be used up again. The procedure will be iterated"*
No. Connect to AC power whenever you can.

High frequency power measurements

Hey,
I'd like to know if there are developments in measuring electrical high frequency signals with labview without using an extern power analyser. At the moment i'm using a yokogawa power analyser but i'd like to know if it's possible to log HF signals without the help of a power analyser... Are there NI products on the market for this purpose?
Thx,
Andy

Hello,
In the case of frequencies up to 200 KHz, NI can provide several solutions using the 'standard' data-acquisition boards or digitizers (scopes), from a low to very high accuracy solutions.
A good solution can be one of the high speed M-series boards (PCI-625x). These boards have up to 32 multiplexed channels with a resolutions of 16-bit at a speed of 1 MS/s (500 KHz).
A better solution would be a S-series boards. These data-acquisition boards sample all input channels simultaneously. We have boards with 2, 4 and 8 channels and sample frequencies of 10 MS/s (up to 5 MHz if needed). S-series board are the boards with product numbers PCI-61xx.
The best solution is to use a digitizer (scope). Also here a lot of possibilities going from low to higher bandwidth and resolution.
The most flexible is the PXI-5922. A 24-bit digitizer if you sample @ maximum 500 KS/s. This board only exist in the PXI platform.
Then NI has 8-bit digitizers (normal resolution for scopes) from 15 till 125 MHz bandwidth. If you need a higher resolution they have solution up to 14-bit (very high for scopes) @ 100 MHz.
Please give your local NI Office a phone call.
They have technical engineers who can discuss your needs and provide you a solution.

Brightness unadjustable for "High Performance" in Switchable Graphics Card Technology

Hello,
I have just transitioned to Windows 7 Professional on my Thinkpad R400(2787-A31)
However, after installing the Thinkpad Switchable Graphics Card driver, i am unable to adjust my brightness if i am using the High Performance mode. My laptop comes with ATi Radeon 3470 and Intel GMA 4500MHD.
I have already installed most of the drivers, and after some testing i realised that it was the switchable graphics driver that cause this problem. Before installation of this driver, i was on the ATi Radeon all the while and i can change the brightness.
I hope some one can help me with this driver issue. My installation of the drivers was from the support page. All except the PCI Simple Communications Controller has their drivers.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Rosemars,
Thank you very much for solving the problem.
The key solution lies with the BIOS update. For people who cannot get the tool to work(mine keep giving an error message), there's an alternativie BIOS update utility at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70351
This is for R400 and T400s, for other models please select your model number at the Support page and find the utility.
Cheers & Thumb Up!

How do I turn on power for pcmcia card back if no icon appears on screen thanks Jiri

I have turned off the power for card in menu on the top of the screen and now no icon appears on top of screen after onserting card and card does not work. With other same powerbook it works well. How I do turn it on back thanks
Jiri

Try this method.
Navigate to the Menu Extras folder inside CoreServices:

You should see an item PCCard.menu - double click on it and the icon should be in the menu bar.

High Capacity storage using Express Card slot

Hi guys,
I know this probably isn't the right forum but I couldn't find a more appropriate one.
I've got a MacBook Pro 2.16ghz Intel Core Duo and I need serious storage options!
I'm basically looking for high capacity RAID 5 storage to store/edit/capture onto. I edit mostly on SD but sometimes HDV (I own an HVR-Z1E). I've got a first edition MacBook Pro and so only have one firewire port which will be taken up when capturing by the camera.
I'm probably going to have to use the express card slot but haven't really thought about what card/wires yet. I'm wanting to spend under £1000 in total and would ideally like Raid 5 configuration to build some safety into my system (lost a project through a broken drive the other day). I'm hoping for a 2tb system or there abouts but am happy to go for less and keep plugging in more HDD later.
I was considering this la cie: http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=10850 but I'm very open to suggestion and at the moment am most concerned about data rate especially on capture. On RAID 5 is that a problem with this drive if I connected with USB2.0?
Sorry for the odd placement (I'd be happy to re-post in a more appropriate forum if that's useful).
All the best,
Dan

RMBP - high frequency/power noise when doing file operations?

Hi,
I noticed today that my new rMBP is emitting some strange high pitched noise, especially when doing heavy files operations like spotlight indexing or startup of the computer. It's louder and more prominent when I connect the AC adapter. It sounds like some power interference, a bit like some broken chargers do or Iphone 4s when transmitting 3G data.
It's not very loud but I can hear it clearly, when sitting in a silent room, even without closing my ear to the Macbook.
Has anybody noticed that or can advise something? Is that normal with those machines or some issue that has to be fixed? I really don't want to return it, as it is perfect otherwise...
Thanks in advance for feedback.

here is the link to a sample of that noise. Please listen from 15 second:

T430: Super-high Optimus power consumption

Hi,
I've got a brand-new 2349-D17 (T430 with Optimus graphics). I just installed Windows 7 Pro 64, installed the drivers from the matrices and wrote a detailled review over the last days.
In between, I did a little benchmarking to investigate the fan controls. I found the T430 to run very hot in the basic Optimus setting. At some point I tried changing the Graphics cards manually in the BIOS and compared three scenarios:
1) Nvidia graphics - OPTIMUS
2) Intel graphics - OPTIMUS
3) Intel graphics - BIOS hardwired
I got a pretty weird result:
Click me!
It basically shows that Intel graphics switchable by Optimus made the machine run A LOT hotter than Intel graphics hardwired on BIOS. That's weird, since Optimus with inactive Nvidia graphics should make the laptop run at about the same setting as Intel graphics only.
Now, since heat emission directly corrolates to power consumption, I decided to have a look at the battery drain. Here's what we got:
Click me too!
Now this is even more interesting. It basically shows that Optimus NOT using the Nvidia graphics drains MORE power than BIOS hardwired Nvidia graphics. Needless to say, it also drains a LOT MORE power than BIOS hardwired Intel graphics.
Since Optimus is actually supposed to REDUCE idle power consumption to a level nearly as low as BIOS hardwired Intel graphics, something is obviously wrong here. I hope it's a driver problem, yet I use the original Lenovo optimus drivers downloaded from the T430's driver matrices. I even installed the Windows updates from System update, yet that didn't help either.
So what can I do to fix this? Are there any other Optimus drivers I could try?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Did you happen to have PowerManager open during any of this? According to this thread: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Thinkpad-T430-Optimus-power-usage/td-p/7819... the PowerManager program can cause the Optimus card to switch between idle & off. Idle causes power drain.
That thread also has instructions relating to installing the Optimus Tester Tools to determine the state of the card, and which programs is causing the GPU to be on. If you do not think that PowerManager was causing the problem, you could try installing the Optimus Tester Tools, and then let us know what it says. I like the "nVidia Optimus GPU State Viewer" with the "Show applications rendered by DGPU" checked. It seems to tell me what I need to know.
Let us know what applications you find are causing the nVidia card to be on.

Issue on CWDM high Rx power

i have 2 test switches setup in a LAB, each switch connecting to each over CWDM-Mux-8A, using various differenet wave CWDM SFPs on both switches, and i have tried it using different ports on the Cisco switch, different CWDM MUX-8A, different CWDM SFP 1490, 1590, 1550, I even tried different Cisco switch, different switch port, and using different single mode fiber patch cable. All are new SFP and new patch cable and new CWDM MUX-8A. I even bypass the CWDM 8-port MUX directly, just connecting CWDM SFP 1490 ---to-----CWDM SFP 1490 directly, and also did the same for CWDM 1590….etc.   But i'm gettting below:
BAD Case: if I push the LC connector on both ends of the single mode fiber cable, all the way into the CWDM SFPs on both ends of this fiber cable , and stop when you hear the “clicking” sound, the interface just won’t come up on both sides of the switch, below is the show interface transceiver:

Good Case: but if I let one end of the fiber cable loosely hangs on the SFP port, not inserting fully by avoiding hearing the “click” sound when LC connector connecting to the CWDM SFP on one of the switch, then the interface will be UP on both side:

why is that ? how do i attenuate the Rx Power from -40 down to -8 ? do i need an external optical attenuator to adjust the power ? or is it because these are in LAB environment, the patch cable are too short, thus power is high ?
thanks,

I'm very curious what the issue is. Strange that it would work when the connector is fully seated in the SFP port. Are the optical jumpers from a name brand manufacturer? Is the connector end green or blue in color?
When connecting a CWDM SFP back to back, it should have 10dB attenuators placed in the path to prevent overloading the optical receiver in the SFP. It is possible, even with the MUX8A filters in-line with a short 15m fiber jumper, that you are over-loading the receivers; causing the system not be be able to decipher the signal. The info you provided above shows a transmit level of +8.1 dBm (higher than the typical +3dBm specification).
When you determine what the problem is, please post it on this site!
Thank you,
