If the system still fails to start up or operate properly after you perform these troubleshooting
procedures, or if you isolate the cause of the problem to a failed component, contact a customer
service representative for further assistance.
This completes the SSP installation and replacement procedure. For complete command
descriptions and examples, refer to the appropriate software publications.
22 Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) Installation and Configuration
The CPU halt LED on the RP should always remain off. If the CPU halt LED goes on during the
startup sequence, suspect a processor hardware error and contact a customer service
representative.
During the boot process, the LEDs on most of the interfaces go on in an irregular sequence; this
does not indicate correct system startup or failure.
When the system boot is complete, the RP begins to initialize the interface processors. During
this initialization, the LEDs on each interface processor behave differently (most flash on and
off). The enabled LED on each interface processor goes on when initialization is complete.
— If the enabled LED on the SSP and all interface processors go on, the system has booted
successfully and is now functional.
— If the RP LEDs previously indicated a successful system boot, but none of the enabled LEDs
on the SSP or the interface processors go on, suspect that one of them has shifted out of the
backplane connector and hung the bus. Use the ejector levers to release the SSP or interface
processor and reseat the module in the backplane. (Refer to the section "Removing the SP or
SSP." Also, refer to Figure 4 for an illustration of the ejector levers.) Tighten both captive
installation screws.
— If the enabled LED on a single interface processor remains off, suspect that the interface
processor has shifted out of the interface processor's slot. Use the ejector levers to release
the interface processor and reseat the interface processor in the backplane (refer to
"Removing the SP or SSP" for a description and illustration of the ejector levers). Tighten
both captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the interfaces, the enabled
LED on the interface processor should go on.
— If an enabled LED still fails to go on after performing these steps, suspect that the specific
SSP or interface processor has failed.
When the system boot is complete, and the SSP and all interface processors have been initialized,
the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:
Cisco Internetwork Operating System Software
Cisco IOS Software (GS7), Version 10.3(4), RELEASE SOFTWARE
(or 10.0(11) or later, or 10.2[7] or later, or 11.0(1) or later)

— If all of the previous conditions are met, and this banner is displayed, the system startup was
successful, and your installation is complete.
— If an error message is displayed on the terminal, refer to the appropriate software publication
for error message definitions.
— If the console screen is blank, check that the terminal is turned on and that the console cable
is correctly connected between the terminal and the Console port on the RP.
— Check the terminal settings and ensure that the terminal is set for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no
parity, and 2 stop bits.
— If the terminal is set correctly and still fails to operate, suspect that the terminal is faulty.
Connect a different terminal and restart the system.
