1 Introduction
This instruction concerns alarm handling.
This document is only applicable for systems using Extreme switches configured dynamically by the Cloud Execution Environment (CEE). Refer to the Configuration File Guide for more information about the CEE configuration types.
1.1 Alarm Description
The Power Supply Failure alarm is issued by the Managed Object (MO) PowerSupply when one or more power supplies fail in the physical switch.
The severity of the alarm is CRITICAL.
The possible alarm causes and fault locations are described in Table 1.

No tools are required.
1.2.3 Conditions
No conditions.
2 Procedure
This section describes the procedure to follow when the alarm is received.
2.1 Actions
Perform the following:
