cage Suggested Action 1
Check the connection/path to the SFP in the cage and the level of signal the SFP is receiving. An
RX Power reading below 100 µW signals the RX Power Low condition; typical readings are between
300 and 400 µW. Helpful CLI commands are showcage -d and showcage -sfp ddm.
At least two connections are expected for drive cages, and this exception is flagged if that is not
the case.
