Cisco Systems 6200 Console Port, Pcmcia Slots and Ejection Buttons, Ethernet Port, MPC LEDs

1 Hardware Description 78-5296-02 10/02/98

Console Port

The console port on the MPC is a serial EIA/TIA-232 port with an RJ-45 connector. See Appendix A, “Pin Assignments,” for pinouts.

PCMCIA Slots and Ejection Buttons

The MPC provides two slots for PCMCIA Flash memory cards. PCMCIA cards store system software and node configuration information. An ejection button is located beneath each PCMCIA slot; push the button to remove the card.

Ethernet Port

The Ethernet port on the MPC is a 10BaseT port with an RJ-45 connector. It is used to connect the Cisco 6200 to its management station. See Appendix A, “Pin Assignments,” for pinouts.

Reset Switch

The reset switch, which initializes the MPC, is recessed behind the faceplate to avoid accidental disturbance.

LED Indicators

All LEDs on the MPC are described in Table 1-7.

Table 1-7	MPC LEDs
LED	Color	Condition Indicated
POWER	Green	The MPC is receiving power.
READY	Green	The MPC is experiencing no problems.
	Yellow	The MPC failed its power-on self test—it has a hardware problem. Refer to
		Chapter 7, “Troubleshooting.”
	Off	The MPC is either initializing or in test mode.
ACTIVE	Green	This MPC is active.
CRITICAL	Red	The system is experiencing a critical alarm. A critical alarm affects many or all
		of the subscribers connected to the node. (Failure of the NTC or the trunk can
		cause a critical alarm.) Use the Cisco 6200 Manager or the command line
		interface to identify the problem.
MAJOR	Red	The system is experiencing a major alarm. A major alarm affects several
		subscribers. (A total SLC failure, which affects all of the subscribers connected
		to that card, causes a major alarm.) Use the Cisco 6200 Manager or the
		command line interface to identify the problem.
MINOR	Yellow	The system is experiencing a minor alarm. A minor alarm affects a small
		number of subscribers. (A partial SLC failure causes a minor alarm.) Use the
		Cisco 6200 Manager or the command line interface to identify the problem.
Slot 0	Green	PCMCIA card slot 0 is being accessed by system software.
Slot 1	Green	PCMCIA card slot 1 is being accessed by system software.
ACT	Green	The Ethernet port is receiving or transmitting data (active).
LNK	Green	A 10BaseT link is present on the Ethernet port.
