PSCA, PSC2, PSC3 and PPC Card Standby LED States
The Standby LED on the packet processing card indicates that software is loaded on the card and the card is
serving as a redundant component. When the system first boots up, all installed packet processing cards are
booted into standby mode. You must then configure the system to designate which packet processing cards
are to serve as redundant components (in standby mode) and which are to function as active components.
If the LED is not green, use the troubleshooting information in the table to diagnose the problem.
