Troubleshooting the Installation

Your Cisco 12008 was subjected to extensive testing and burn-in before being shipped from the factory. However, if you encounter problems starting up the router, the information in this chapter will help you to isolate the probable cause.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Troubleshooting Overview

Troubleshooting the Power Subsystem

Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem

Troubleshooting the Cooling Subsystem

Additional Troubleshooting Reference Information

In this chapter, it is assumed that you are troubleshooting the initial Cisco 12008 system startup, and that the system is in the original factory configuration. If you have removed or replaced components or changed any default settings, the recommendations in this chapter might not apply.

At initial system startup, you should verify the following:

External power cables are connected, and proper source power is being supplied.

The card cage fan tray and the power supply fan tray are operating.

The system software boots successfully.

The RP and the line cards are properly installed in their slots; each card initializes (is enabled by system software) without problems.
