Identify Startup Problems

Startup problems are commonly caused by source power problems or a board (network processing engine, I/O controller, port
adapter, or cable interface line card) that is not properly connected to the midplane. With the exception of the fan tray and
network processing engine, LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, you can
determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence.
1. First check that you are properly plugged into the power source. Then verify that the cards are properly installed. If the port
adapter ENABLED LED remains off after you have verified that it is properly installed, verify that the hardware revision
of the port adapter in question is supported by the Cisco uBR7246VXR. Use the show diag command (Router# show
diag slot ) to determine the type of port adapter and then check the product website to determine compatibility.
2. The system cannot operate unless the I/O controller and network processing engine are installed properly. Check that these
modules are properly installed in the chassis.
Note If you are using a Cisco uBR7200-NPE-G1, you do not need an I/O controller module installed in the chassis. Use
the show version command (Router# show version
3. If the clock card ENABLED LED is off, verify that the card is securely installed in the chassis.
4. Always verify that the fans are operating. If the following message is displayed,
