Troubleshooting the Installation

All new line cards are designated as administratively down by default. Status LEDs are off until you
Note
configure the interfaces and use the no shutdown command.
If the Card Status LED or a Port Status LED does not go on, there is either a problem with the line card
installation or a hardware failure. To verify that the line card is installed correctly, follow these steps:
Step 1 If a Port Status LED fails to go on (no activity), but the Card Status LED is on, verify that the
initialization sequence has completed successfully. If this is the case, verify that the interface is not shut
down. If the interface is not shut down, suspect a circuitry problem with the Port Status LED and contact
a service representative for further assistance.
Step 2 If the Card Status LED fails to go on, check the router connections as follows:
a.
b.
c.
After the line card reinitializes, the Card Status LED on the line card should go on. If the Card Status
LED goes on, the installation is complete; if the Card Status LED does not go on, proceed to the next
step.
If the Card Status LED still fails to go on, remove the line card and try installing it in another available
Step 3
line card slot.

If an error message displays on the console terminal during the line card initialization, see the

appropriate reference publication for error message definitions.
If you experience other problems that you cannot solve, contact a Cisco service representative for
assistance.

Verify that the line card board connector is fully seated in the backplane. Loosen the captive
installation screws and firmly pivot the ejector levers toward each other until both are parallel to the
line card front panel. Tighten the captive installation screws.
Verify that all power cords and data cables are firmly connected at both ends.
Verify that all components on the card are fully seated and secured to their sockets.
If the Card Status LED goes on when the line card is installed in the new slot, suspect a failed
backplane port in the original line card slot.
If the Card Status LED still does not go on, halt the installation. Contact a service representative to
report the faulty equipment and obtain further instructions.
