Troubleshooting the Route Processor Subsystem
•If the alphanumeric display is operating, check the meaning of the messages (see Table 4 -6 for the
RSP).
When the DC-to-DC converters are powered on by the CAN microcontroller, the begins the RSP
boot process and displays various status messages. Some messages appear briefly; while others
appear for several seconds. If the messages appear to stop at a particular point, the boot process may
be halted:
– Make a note of the message.
– Turn off power to the router, then turn on the power again to reset the router and start the boot
process. If the router halts again, replace the RSP (see Removing and Replacing Cards from the
Chassis, page 5-25).
Fabric Card Front Panel Indicator
The front panel of the fabric card (FC) has one tri-color LED indicator for system information.
Table 4 -7 lists the display definitions of the discrete LED on the FC front panel.
Troubleshooting Line Cards and Modular Port Adapters
See the Cisco ASR 9000 Series AggregationServices Router Ethernet Line Card Installation Guide for
information about troubleshooting line cards and modular port adapters (MPA).

PST2 Failed FPGA image CRC check
PST3 Failed board type and slot ID verification
Table4-7 Fabric Card LED Display Definitions
Indicator (Label) Color Description
Power Fail
(FAIL)
Green FC powered on and FPGA is programmed.
Note Fabric Data Link failure is not detected so LED remains green.
Monitor CLI messages for status.
Red Fault or malfunction in FC power up or FPGA programming.
Note Once any ejector lever release button is pushed in, the FC must be
physically removed and reinserted (OIR) to restart the FC. During
this time before the FC is restarted, the LED is red.
Amber FC is powered on but fabric not active.
Off
(Default after reset)
FC is powered off through the CLI.
