Chapter 8: Verifying the Hardware Operations of the Chassis
Using the LEDs to Verify the Chassis
After powering on the chassis for the first time and waiting a minimum of two minutes for the line and controller cards to complete the initialization process, check the operational status of the various hardware components by examining the LEDs, as explained in this procedure:
1.Check the LEDs on the power supplies:
2.Check the Power LED on the
3.If the chassis has one controller card, check the CFC LED on the card. It should be solid green. If the LED is flashing green, the card is still initializing its AlliedWare Plus Operating System. Wait another minute and check the LED again. If the LED is still flashing green, the card may have encountered a problem that prevents it from completing the initialization process. Power off the chassis and replace the controller card.
Note
If all the LEDs on the controller card are off, they may have been turned off. Try pressing the
4.If the chassis has two controller cards, check the CFC LEDs on both cards. The cards are operating correctly when the LEDs are solid green on one card and solid amber on the other. If both LEDs are flashing green, the controller cards are still completing the initialization process. If the LEDs do not change to solid green and amber after another minute, the cards may have encountered a problem that is
