[CAUSE] The tmnxOesCardDegraded notification is generated when a fault on the card has caused the system to declare a hardware failure. This condition may be declared due to a failure in the SEEP or another hardware failure, depending on the card type the alarm is raised against. [EFFECT] The tmnxOesCardDegraded alarm indicates a lower priority fault on the card that does not directly affect the traffic currently flowing through the device. [RECOVERY] First attempt a soft reset of the card. If the card has rebooted and the condition does not clear, then try a hard reset of the card. If the card has rebooted and the condition does not clear, then remove the card and re-insert it to see if the condition clears. If the condition remains, then replace the card and follow the return and repair process for the problem card.
