Power Module Failure

Fault Description

A switch generates a power module alarm, and the RUN or INPUT indicator on the power module is off.

Possible Causes and Troubleshooting Procedure

DANGER:
Protect yourself from electric shock when you are touching a power module.
Analyze the cause of the fault according to keywords in the alarm message and indicator status on the power module.
Run the display alarm { all | slot slot-id } command to check alarms about the power module.
800 W AC power module, 2200 W DC power module, and 2200 W AC power module
Table 1 describes keywords in alarms for an 800 W AC power module, 2200 W DC power module, and 2200 W AC power module, indicator status on these power modules, and troubleshooting methods in different situations.

Possible Causes
Solution
PWR_FAULT
  • The RUN indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is steady yellow.
  • The ALM indicator is blinking yellow.
  • The FAULT indicator is steady red.
General power module alarm.
  1. Run the display device command to check whether the CMU is working normally.
    If the CMU is not working normally, see "Card Registration Failure" to handle the problem. If the problem persists, go to step 5.
    If the CMU is working normally, go to 2.
  2. Check whether the input voltage of the power module is normal.
    Select an appropriate measurement mode on the multimeter and use the test probes to measure the input voltage.
    If the input voltage is in the normal range, check whether the power switch on the power module is in the ON position. If so, go to 3.
    If the input voltage is out of the normal range, check the power input lines and power switches and ensure that they are in normal states. If the fault persists, go to step 3.
  3. Remove and reinstall the power module in the original slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 4.
  4. Install the power module in another power supply slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 5.

MODE_FAULT
  • The RUN indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is steady yellow.
  • The ALM indicator is blinking yellow.
  • The FAULT indicator is steady red.
  • Fans of the power module have failed.
  • The output voltage of the power module exceeds the upper threshold.
  • The output voltage of the power module is below the lower threshold.
MODE_PROTECT
  • The RUN indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is steady yellow.
  • The ALM indicator is blinking yellow.
  • The air breaker connected to the power module is switched off.
  • The power module is in overtemperature protection state.
  • The power module is in overcurrent protection state.
  • The power module is in overvoltage protection state.
  • The power module is in undervoltage protection state.
DROP
  • The RUN indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is blinking yellow.
The power module has encountered a power failure.
FAN_FAULT
  • The RUN indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is blinking yellow.
  • The FAULT indicator is steady red.
Fans of the power module have failed.
  1. Remove and reinstall the power module in the original slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 2.
  2. Install the power module in another power supply slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 3.

Possible Indicator Status
Possible Causes
Solution
DC PWR_FAULT
  • The INPUT indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is steady red.
The power module receives no power input.
  1. Check whether the input voltage of the power module is normal.
    Select an appropriate measurement mode on the multimeter and use the test probes to measure the input voltage of the power module.
    If the input voltage is in the normal range, check whether the power switch on the power module is in the ON position. If so, go to 2.
    If the input voltage is out of the normal range, check the power input lines and power switches and ensure that they are in normal states. If the fault persists, go to 2.
  2. Remove and reinstall the power module in the original slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 3.
  3. Install the power module in another power supply slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 4.

DC PWR_LACK
  • The INPUT indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is steady red.
The input voltage of the power module is below the lower threshold.
Measure the voltage of the external power source. Ensure that the power source can supply power to the power module normally.
DC SWITCH_STA
  • The INPUT indicator is off.
  • The ALM indicator is steady red.
The power module is turned off.
Check the power switch of the power module. If the power switch is in the OFF position, turn it to the ON position.
DC FUSE_FAULT
The ALM indicator is steady red.
The fuse of the power module is damaged.
  1. Remove and reinstall the CMU in the same CMU slot, and check whether the alarm is cleared. If the fault persists, go to 2.
  2. Install the CMU in the other CMU slot and check whether the alarm is cleared. If the fault persists, go to 3.
  3. Remove and reinstall the power module in the original slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 4.
  4. Install the power module in another power supply slot, and check whether the power module can work normally. If the fault persists, go to 5.
