f.
Verify that the module STATUS LED is lit.
g.
Periodically check the STATUS LED:
•
If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the module has successfully completed the
boot process and is now online.
•
If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the module has not successfully completed the
boot process and may have encountered an error. For more information about the orange or red
STATUS LED states, see the LED table for your specific module in Chapter 2.
Note
You should install switching-module filler plates (Cisco part number 800-00292-01) in any
empty slots to maintain consistent airflow through the switch chassis.
