Troubleshooting Using the Line Card Alphanumeric Display

You can analyze the alphanumeric displays to isolate a problem with the line card. The two rows of the alphanumeric display are powered separately:

The upper row receives power from the DC-to-DC converters on the line card.

The lower row is powered directly from the MBus on the line card through the chassis backplane.

If the lower row is not operating the MBus module may be malfunctioning.

If the MBus module is operating, the lower row could be on even if the RP failed to powered on.

If neither the upper or lower row is on, but the power modules and the blower modules are operational, the line card may not be installed properly, or the +5 VDC output from the chassis backplane is faulty.

Make sure that the system is powered on.

Initialize the line card by ejecting it from the chassis backplane and then reseating it.

If both the upper and lower rows are operating, check the status messages (see Table 4-6).

When the DC-to-DC converters are powered-on by the MBus module, the line card processor begins the boot process and displays various status messages. Some messages appear briefly; while others appear for several seconds.
