Ethernet Line Card Active LED States

The Active LEDs on the Ethernet Line Cards indicate that the operating software is loaded on the card and that the card
is ready for operation.
The line cards installed remain in ready mode until their corresponding packet processing card is activated during
configuration. While in ready mode, the Active LED is off. When the packet processing card is activated, the line card
installed in the upper-rear chassis slot behind the packet processing card is also activated. The line card installed in the
lower-rear chassis slot behind the packet processing card enters standby mode.
If the LED is not green, use the troubleshooting information in the table to diagnose the problem.

Troubleshooting
None needed for line cards installed in slots 17 through 23 and 26 through 32 after
configuration.
If green for line cards in slots 33 through 39 and 42 through 48, verify that the
corresponding line card installed in the upper-rear chassis slot is installed properly
according to the instructions in this document.
For example, if this LED is green for a line card in slot 33, verify that the line card
in slot 17 is installed properly.
This is normal prior to configuration. Neither the Active or the Standby LED on
the card will be on.
Verify that the Run/Fail LED is green. If so, the card is receiving power and POST
test results are positive. If it is off, refer to
for troubleshooting information.
Check the state of the Standby LED. If it is green, the card is in standby mode.
Refer to the System Administration Guide for information on making the card
active.
