[c-nsp] Cisco recall on 3560 and 3750 switches and PWR-2300RPS

[Hank Nussbacher]

"Although there has not been a reported safety incident, Cisco is aware of 
a potential safety issue that can be caused by a welded nut breaking free 
inside the switch and Redundant Power Supply (RPS).

Tightening the mounting screws used to secure the power supply or blower 
module to the switch or the RPS can lead to a welded nut on the interior to 
the switch or RPS breaking free from the chassis sheet metal. A risk of 
electric shock may exist if the chassis is not properly grounded and the 
loose nut comes in contact with the power supply line-in and chassis."

There is no  workaround.  To check whether your switch needs to be replaced 
and to submit your details for the RMA go to the following page:
