Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem
If you are unable to resolve the problem or if you determine that either the PEM or power wiring is faulty, contact a service representative for assistance.
Troubleshooting the Processor Subsystem
The Cisco XR 12406 router processor subsystem consists of the RP, the line cards, and the alarm cards. The RP and the line cards each have two processors. One processor is the main processor; the other processor is a component in the MBus module.
•The MBus module begins operation as soon as power is applied to the system. The MBus module determines the type of card it is mounted on and whether it should turn on the
•The RP MBus module turns on card power after a brief delay; the line card MBus modules delay turning on power until they receive a command from the RP.
A Cisco XR 12406 router requires that one RP be installed, or the system cannot operate. A line card that is partially connected to the backplane will send incomplete signals to the RP, which could cause the system to hang. If necessary, you can troubleshoot individual line cards, but first ensure that the RP is installed properly and the system software has initialized successfully.
