Troubleshooting the Interface Processors

This section provides information on troubleshooting the interface processors.
Check the following to help isolate the problem:

More specific interface processor troubleshooting information is discussed in the companion publication
Note
Interface Processor Installation and Configuration Guide, which shipped with your Cisco 7500 series
router, and in the individual configuration notes that shipped with your interface processors.
If you experience trouble with the startup that is not resolved with these procedures, contact a service
representative for assistance and further instructions.

Using Cisco 7500 Series System LEDs

The RSPs and power supplies in all of the Cisco 7500 series routers have LEDs that indicate specific
behavior. The Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX, Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576 routers also
have front-panel LEDs. (The Cisco 7505 does not have front-panel LEDs.)
Use the information in the following sections to interpret the LED indications for your system:

Processor Installation and Configuration Guide, which shipped with your Cisco 7500 series router, and

Using the Front-Panel System LEDs

This section describes the indications for the front-panel LEDs on the Cisco 7507, Cisco 7507-MX,
Cisco 7513, Cisco 7513-MX, and Cisco 7576. (The Cisco 7505 has no front-panel system LEDs.)

Are all interface processor enabled LEDs on?
If yes, the system is operational. Proceed to the instructions for configuring the interfaces in the
appropriate software documentation.
Are any interface processor enabled LEDs off?
– If any of the enabled LEDs are off, first check each RSP normal LED, which will be on if the
system booted the RSP successfully.
– If the enabled LED on an individual interface processor is off, suspect that the interface
processor has pulled away from the backplane. You do not have to turn off the system power to
remove and replace an interface processor. Use the ejector levers to eject and reseat the interface
processor, and then tighten both of the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes
the interfaces, the enabled LED on the interface processor should go on.
