Using LEDs to Check FEIP Status
The FEIP has four status LEDs on its faceplate that indicate status on each FE port. (See Figure 9.)
Figure 22
After you connect cables, observe the LED states and the console display as the router initializes.
When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the enabled LED on the FEIP should go on. (For
complete descriptions of the FEIP LEDs, refer to the section "FEIP LEDs" on page 16.)
The console screen will also display a message as the system discovers each interface during its
reinitialization. After system initialization, the enabled LED goes on to indicate that the FEIP is
enabled for operation.
The following conditions must be met before the FEIP is enabled:
The interface processor is correctly connected to the backplane and receiving power.
The system bus recognizes the interface processor.
A valid version of microcode is loaded and running.
If any of these conditions is not met, the enabled LED does not go on.
Verify that the FEIP is connected correctly as follows:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
LEDs (Partial Faceplate View of FEIP)
While the system reinitializes each interface, observe the console display messages and
verify that the system discovers the FEIP. The system should recognize the FEIP's
interfaces but leaves them configured as down.
When the reinitialization is complete, verify that the enabled LED on each FEIP port
adapter is on and remains on. If the LED does stay on, proceed to Step 5. If the enabled
LED does not stay on, proceed to the next step.
If an enabled LED fails to go on, suspect the that the FEIP board connector is not fully
seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive installation screws, then firmly push the top
ejector down while pushing the bottom ejector up until both are parallel to the FEIP
faceplate. Tighten the captive installation screws. After the system reinitializes the
interfaces, the enabled LED on the FEIP should go on. If the enabled LED goes on,
proceed to Step 5. If the enabled LED does not go on, proceed to the next step.
