Installing a Second RPM
Note: If your system contains two RPMs, both RPMs must contain the same software image.
Install a second RPM either before the system is powered on or after the Primary RPM is up and stable. After the second RPM is installed, wait several seconds until the connection between the two RPMs is established before configuring any commands. Below is an example of the messages that should appear:
Once the link between the two RPMs is established, copy the running configuration to the startup configuration.
RPM Label and LEDs
Table 6 describes the RPM LED states and the RPM front panel.
Table 6 RPM LEDs
Section | Label | Description |
|
|
|
Management | 10/100 | L: Green: link is up |
| Ethernet | A: Green: activity on port |
|
| |
|
|
|
Alarms | Major | Red: a critical condition exists, such as a severe over temperature condition, a fan |
|
| tray failure, an overcurrent condition in a power supply, or an |
|
| voltage. |
|
| The RPM LEDs are controlled by software which sets the threshold levels for |
|
| triggering the different stages of alarms. |
|
| Unlit: no major conditions |
|
|
|
| Minor | Amber: a serious condition exists, such as an over temperature condition, a single |
|
| fan failure, or a line card failure. The RPM LEDs are controlled by software, |
|
| which sets the threshold levels for triggering the different stages of alarms. |
|
| Unlit: no minor alarm conditions |
|
|
|
| ACO/LT | Allows you to test the operability of LEDs to verify that they are able to light. |
|
| Press the ACO/LT button to temporarily illuminate the LEDs on the RPM. |
|
| If you press this button when the alarm status LED is lit, the alarm relay contacts are |
|
| reset until the next alarm event. |
Flash | In Use | Green: flash memory card is in the process of a read or write process. Do not |
|
| remove the flash card when the In Use LED is lit. |
|
