Replacing Power Supplies and Redundant Power Supplies
The following messages are expected behavior when you try to reload or insert a POE supply in a router
with Ethernet Switch Network Module:
Aug 10 18:29:40.331: %ILPM_FAULT-5-ILPM_NOTICE: Notice: Inline power supply is being
started.
*Aug 10 18:29:40.331: %ILPM_FAULT-5-ILPM_WARNING: Warning: Ethernet Switch Network Modules
with PoE Support need to be reloaded to function properly.
*Aug 10 18:29:40.691: %SYS-5-RESTART: System restarted -- Cisco IOS Software, C2900
Software (C2900-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 15.0(1)M2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)
This Warning message is not an indication of any ERROR in the system but a WARNING upon system
reload or POE power supply restoration.
Upon POE power supply insetion, inline power supply restores automatically in the router. After the
insertion, reset is needed for the switch modules in the router for the POE supply to work properly.
If there are two POE supplies, the power supplies can operate in a boost mode or redundant mode. In a
boost mode, the total power supplied is a sum of the two power supplies capacity. In a redundant mode,
if one of the POE supply fails, the other POE will supply power.

Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement

The 3900 series routers do not use an external RPS, and instead use an optional secondary
internal power supply.
