Installing and Removing Modular Port Adapters
If you installed a new modular line card (MLC), the STATUS LED should be on (green). The system
should recognize all new interfaces but leave them configured as down.
If you replaced a modular line card (MLC), the STATUS LED should be on (green). The interfaces
will come up in the same state as though you reinserted the old modular line card (MLC).
Verify that the STATUS LED on the modular port adapter (MPA) goes on (is green) and remains on after

the reinitialization is complete. If the STATUS LED remains on, proceed to

Step 3
If the STATUS LED on a modular port adapter (MPA) fails to go on, the modular port adapter (MPA) or
the modular line card (MLC) might not be fully seated.
Remove the modular port adapter (MPA) from the modular line card (MLC).
Inspect the modular port adapter (MPA). Verify there are no bent pins or parts and that there is
nothing lodged in the two devices that could prevent a good connection.
Insert the modular port adapter (MPA) in the modular line card (MLC) by sliding the modular port
adapter (MPA) all the way in the modular line card (MLC) until the modular port adapter (MPA) is
firmly seated in the modular port adapter (MPA) interface connector. When fully seated in the modular
line card (MLC), the modular port adapter (MPA) might be slightly behind the modular line card
(MLC) faceplate. After the modular port adapter (MPA) is properly seated, use a number 2 Phillips
screwdriver to tighten the jackscrew.
Note
After the system reinitialization, the STATUS LED on the modular port adapter (MPA) should go
on and remain on. If the STATUS LED remains on, proceed to
the modular port adapter (MPA) in a different subslot within the modular line card (MLC).
If the STATUS LED on a modular port adapter (MPA) fails to go on after reseating the modular port
adapter (MPA) in a different subslot within the modular line card (MLC), proceed to

adapter (MPA) from the modular line card (MLC), then remove the modular line card (MLC) and install
it in another available slot on the router. Wait for the STATUS LED on the modular line card (MLC) to
turn green.
If the STATUS LED goes on, suspect a failed backplane port in the original slot.
If the STATUS LED fails to go on, remove the modular line card (MLC) and ensure the modular port
adapter (MPA) is firmly seated in its slot. Remove and reinstall it accordingly.
If the STATUS LED still fails to go on, but other LEDs on the modular port adapter (MPA) go on to
indicate activity, proceed to
LED on the modular port adapter (MPA) or the modular port adapter (MPA) bay has failed. Contact
a service representative to report the problem and obtain further instructions.
If no LEDs on the modular port adapter (MPA) go on:

The modular port adapter (MPA) will slide easily into the slot if it is properly aligned on the
tracks. If the modular port adapter (MPA) does not slide easily, do NOT force it. Remove the
modular port adapter (MPA) and reposition it, paying close attention to engaging it on the
tracks.
Verify that the modular port adapter (MPA) is supported on the modular line card (MLC) and
that it has the required hardware revision. If the modular port adapter (MPA) is not supported
or has an old hardware revision, the show diag command indicates that the modular line card
(MLC) is deactivated.
