Even though the cards are not completely compatible for totals # of routes (3C vs 3CXL) the system should default to the lowest card but I would think that it would still power up the card and let it function normally. We're going to see about getting a 3CXL version of the 10G line card but

It will power up and default to 3C if you insert the card and reboot the 7600. On Fri, Mar 21, 2014 at 8:15 AM, Lobo loboti...@gmail.com wrote: Even though the cards are not completely compatible for totals # of routes (3C vs 3CXL) the system should default to the lowest card but I would

Agreed. But even after a reboot, the chassis is still not allowing this 6708 card to come up because it complains about insufficient cooling. This is pretty annoying as their documentation shows that the 7604 is compatible with this card but now we're starting to wonder if that's truly the

This might help you: In the Cisco 6504 E, on the FAN-MOD-4HS fan-tray there is a switch at the rear. This switch should be in the A position. See Figure 2.1.1. This allows the fan to run in high-power mode. In this mode it generates an airflow of 100 ft3/min per slot. When the switch is in the M

Only the 6716 is incompatible. I was just able to build one with the 6708. Jose On 3/21/2014 10:32 AM, Derek Denk wrote: The build and price tool lists the 6708 and 6716 cards on the incompatible SKU list for the 7604. -Original Message- From: cisco-nsp

Wow I never knew about that switch. Ours had the variable and full options and we moved it over to full. The fan is definitely running at the higher speeds but I think there's a problem with the reporting. The router still can't get the proper information from the fan module so it still

Nor I, until one of my techs enlightened me :-) According to our testing, if the switch says Full/Variable, you need to set it to the Variable mode to get full cooling: Note: on another FAN-MOD-4HS fan-tray the positions of the switch are labeled VARIABLE and FULL. The switch should be put in

When you insert a card that needs more than 75cfm, the fan will be switched from restricted-power to full-power by the IOS software. I'm starting to believe there are different FAN-MOD-4HS out there, and some of them only support 75cfm per slot (300cfm in total) vs. those that also support 94cfm

Hmm, that's an interesting thought. Not the first time that a certain hardware version has had issues vs another version. We're attempting to RMA one of the fan modules and see if this resolves the problem. Jose On 3/21/2014 11:54 AM, Chris Welti wrote: When you insert a card that needs
