The nominal input voltage of the modular DC power-subsystem on NCS6k is -48 VDC or -60 VDC. It accepts an input tolerance in the range from –40 to –72 VDC. Alarms are generated if certain thresholds are crossed.
Minor: -44V
Major: -42V
Critical: -40.75V
A low battery alarm is generated if the threshold is crossed for 12 or more seconds.
The following example displays a major alarm message if the corresponding threshold is crossed:
0/RP0/ADMIN0:Feb 14 00:48:54.994 : envmon[1886]: %PKT_INFRA-FM-3-FAULT_MAJOR : ALARM_MAJOR :Power Module Warning (low input voltage) :DECLARE :0/PT0-PM2: Power tray 0 power module 2 is under DC_PEM_LOW_BATTERY_MAJOR condition(Input < 42V).
The output of show alarm displays the alarm condition on the system like in the following example:
sysadmin-vm:0_RP0# show alarm
Mon Jun 30 20:18:19.358 UTC

The shutdown thresholds are as below:
SW shutdown: -40V
HW shutdown: -39V
The following example displays the critical alarm message if the input voltage is below -40V on all power modules:
0/RP0/ADMIN0:Feb 14 00:48:53.432 : envmon[1886]: %PKT_INFRA-FM-2-FAULT_CRITICAL : ALARM_CRITICAL :Low input voltage chassis shutdown :DECLARE :0: CHASSIS SHUTDOWN due to all power modules in failed or input voltage < 40V condition.
0/RP0/ADMIN0:Feb 14 00:48:53.474 : shelf_mgr[1925]: %INFRA-SHELF_MGR-3-FAULT_ACTION_RACK_FORCED_SHUTDOWN : Forced shutdown requested for rack 0
