Cisco Systems CX-FEIP-1TX= manual Feip LEDs, LEDs on an Feip Port Adapter Partial Faceplate View

What Is the FEIP?

Note Each FEIP is a fixed configuration; therefore, individual port adapters are not available as spare parts and are not field-replaceable or removable. The entire FEIP card is treated as a field-replaceable unit (FRU). Do not attempt to remove an FEIP’s port adapter and replace it with another. Do not attempt to install 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX port adapters on the same FEIP.

Caution To prevent system problems, we recommend that you not attempt to remove an FEIP port adapter and replace it with another, nor attempt to mix 100BASE-TX and 100BASE-FX FE port adapters on the same FEIP.

Note Each of the two 100BASE-FX interfaces on the FEIP-2FX uses the MII connector like the FEIP-2TX, but the FEIP-2FX has an SC-type fiber-optic connector in place of the RJ-45 connector. Either the MII LED or the RJ-45 (or FIBER) LED should be on at any one time; never both.

Caution To prevent system problems, do not simultaneously connect cables to the RJ-45 (or SC) and MII receptacles on a single FEIP port adapter. Each port adapter (100BASE-FX or 100BASE-TX) can have either an MII attachment or an RJ-45 (or SC) attachment, but not both. The MII and RJ-45 (or SC) receptacles represent two physical connection options for one port adapter.

FEIP LEDs

The FEIP contains the enabled LED and a bank of three status LEDs for each of the two port adapters (located between the two receptacles on each port adapter). After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the FEIP has been enabled for operation. (The LEDs are shown in Figure 9.)

H2941

The following conditions must be met before the enabled LED goes on:

•

•

•

The FEIP is correctly connected and receiving power

The FEIP card contains a valid microcode version that has been downloaded successfully

The bus recognizes the FEIP.

If any of these conditions is not met, or if the initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED does not go on.
