Nexus 5K power supply question

[dallen00111111]

If this is not the proper place to post, I'm sorry and point me to the proper place for posting.

We have 2 Nexus 5K (NX5010) units installed at our location. On one of the units we have had one power supply issue several temperature alerts in two clusters, one over the past weekend and one about a month ago. The A/C in the room is working and there was no power outage (units are on UPS and backed by a generator also).   We are scheduled to replace the units over the summer, but I don't know when yet.

Should I be getting extra concerned, ignore it, or limp along with it?

Thanks, in advance, for any information.

How does it feel if you put your hand on it?  Is it abnormally hot compared to the other unit?

When I have put my hand on it, the power supply is a little warmer than is normal.  According to the health sensors, as reported by Solarwinds, the input sensor is the same temperature as the other supply, but the output sensor is about 10-12 degrees (F) warmer.  When it is not sending an alert the  sensors are usually within 2-4 degrees of each other. I believe that the readings were 116 and 104.2 degrees according to the log entries. The temperature in the room is 76-80 most of the time, with A/C running.

What has seemed to be normal temps for the output sensors has been around 102-105 degrees, depending on the time of day and the temperature in the room at the time. The temp seems to peak in late morning and early afternoon, based upon my limited observations and that would be in line with the peak usage times.

Do you have a Cisco maintenance contract, like a SmartNet on it?  I think I would ask TAC.
