Nortel Networks 6300 manual Power-up and Boot Procedures

Chapter 4 Troubleshooting Procedures

In addition to the front panel LEDs, the Remote Annex 6300 contains a Link LED on the rear panel. The Link LED is green when an active 10BaseT segment is attached.

During power-up and booting, it is more difficult to diagnose problems because they can originate in the Remote Annex 6300, the transceiver, the Ethernet, or the load server host. However, the LEDs provide both a progress report and an error display to assist you in troubleshooting.

If an error occurs, save the status of these LEDs. Technical support personnel can use this information to diagnose problems.

This chapter describes power-up and booting, troubleshooting during booting, and the file created from a Remote Annex 6300 dump.

Power-up and Boot Procedures

The Remote Annex 6300 has two modes of operation: normal and setup. Normal mode is the standard operational mode. Setup mode provides access to the ROM Monitor commands. Pressing the Reset button on the front panel puts the Remote Annex 6300 into Setup mode. When the Remote Annex 6300 is in Setup mode, the Setup LED lights.

During the Remote Annex 6300 power-up and boot sequence, the Remote Annex 6300 runs a set of diagnostics. The system LEDs display the diagnostics’ status. The Remote Annex 6300 stops when it detects one of two error conditions (see Table 4-2). The pattern of the system LEDs identifies the error condition.
