Understanding the Alphanumeric LEDs

At one end of the faceplate, near an ejector lever, a line card has two four-digit alphanumeric LED displays that show a sequence of messages indicating the state of the card.

Note It is normal for some displayed messages to appear too briefly in the LED display to be read.

Troubleshooting the MSC, FP, or LSP

If the installed or replaced line card fails to operate or to power up on installation:

1.Make sure that the card is seated firmly in the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis slot. One easy way to verify physical installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the MSC is even with the fronts of the other cards installed in the card cage.

2.Check whether the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the MSC.

3.Examine the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis alarm LEDs on the RP to see if there are any active alarm conditions.

4.Examine the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis power distribution units (PDUs) to see whether the chassis, as a whole, is receiving power.

Status LEDs

Use the status LEDs, located on the line card faceplate, to verify the correct installation of the card:

When the card is properly installed, the Status LED turns green. If this LED is off, verify that the card is installed correctly.

When the Status LED is blinking yellow, a problem exists on the board.

When the Status LED is off, the board state is unknown. Verify that there is power to the board by looking at the indicators on the power module.
