Understanding the Alphanumeric LEDs

At one end of the faceplate, near an ejector lever, an RP, PRP, or DRP card has an alphanumeric LED display that shows 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 RP, PRP, or DRP Card

If the installed or replaced card fails to operate or to power up on installation, do the following:

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 card is even with the fronts of the other cards installed in the card cage.

Note PRP cards only—If the PRP is not seated properly, the blue OIR Ready LED on the faceplate glows solidly, and the Primary and Status LEDs keep blinking to indicate that the card is not seated correctly. If this happens, remove the card fully and re-insert fully.

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 card.
