Installing the SSP
SSP and Interface Processor LEDs
The SSP and each interface processor contain an enabled LED. The enabled LED goes on to indicate
that the SSP or interface processor is operational and powered up. All enabled LEDs (on the SSP
and interface processors) go on when the boot sequence is complete. If the enabled LEDs do not
come on, one of the following errors is indicated:

System Startup Sequence
By checking the state of the LEDs, you can determine when and where the system failed in the
startup sequence. The Cisco 7000 features redundant LEDs on the front of the chassis for the RP
normal system status LED and the power LEDs on the power supplies. However, because the states
reported by these LEDs are also indicated at the interface processor end of the chassis, these LEDs
are ignored in the following procedure. Because you turn the system power on with the power supply
switches, the startup behavior is easiest to observe from the rear of the chassis. Use the following
descriptions of the normal startup sequence to isolate the problem, then use the troubleshooting
procedures wherever the system fails to operate as expected. If you are able to isolate the problem
to a faulty hardware component, or if you are unable to successfully restart the system, refer to the
end of this document for instructions for contacting a customer service representative.
Note
and the amount of memory that must be initialized. During the system startup sequence, the time
required to initialize the memory (not necessarily the entire boot sequence) in a system that contains
64 MB of DRAM will be approximately four times longer than in a system that contains 16 MB of
DRAM.
The pause in the banner display occurs after the copyright line, and before the system displays the
list of installed hardware, as shown in the following display:
Note
operating correctly up until the time you removed or replaced the SSP. If the following sequence
indicates a new problem with the power subsystem or one of the interface processors, refer to the
Cisco 7000 Hardware Installation and Maintenance or the Cisco 7010 Hardware Installation and
Maintenance publications for system startup troubleshooting procedures.
20 Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) Installation and Configuration
The SSP or interface processor is not installed correctly. (The SSP is not fully seated in the
backplane connector).
The microcode and software that are loading at startup are not compatible.
The SSP or interface processor has failed.
The time required for the system to initialize (boot) varies with different router configurations
