Solved: ACE Module not booting up.

alexc2010 · ‎05-28-2010

Hi All,

My ACE module doesn not boot when i issue the reload command. Also no power enable module 7/power enable module 7 does not work. The only solution is to physically remove and re-insert the module on the switch.

Please find the output of ACE module booting up below ,it looks like there is a memory error of some sort. You will also notice that the ACE went into rommon, this was because I was performing a test to get the ACE to boot from an image on the Supervisor.

Could someone let me know if this is Software issue or the Hardware.

Thanks in advance.Looking forward to hear something on this.

Hi Giles,

Thanks for answering this.

So should I proceed with hardware replacement?

Thanks

Alex

Gilles Dufour · ‎06-01-2010

Alex, yes I would suggest to replace the card.
