Solution

  1. When such alarms are seen for PEM (or any FRU), check for the router environment for any blockage/obstacle in air flow, dust.
  2. If everything is found, clean and still the alarms are appearing, it could be an indication of Temperature Sensor failure. In this case, Pls reach out to JTAC for PEM replacement
