Note
It is normal for some displayed messages to appear too briefly in the LED display to be read.
Troubleshooting the MSC
If the installed or replaced MSC fails to operate or to power up on installation:
1.
Make sure that the card is seated firmly in the Cisco ASR 14000 series 8-slot line card chassis slot.
One easy way to verify physical installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the MSC is even
with the fronts of the other cards installed in the card cage.
2.
Check whether the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you
are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the MSC.
3.
Examine the Cisco ASR 14000 series 8-slot line card chassis alarm LEDs on the RP to see if there
are any active alarm conditions.
4.
Examine the Cisco ASR 14000 series 8-slot line card chassis power distribution units (PDUs) to see
whether the chassis, as a whole, is receiving power.
MSC Status LEDs
Use the status LEDs, located on the MSC faceplate, to verify the correct installation of the MSC:
•
When the card is properly installed, the Status LED turns green. If this LED is off, verify that the
card is installed correctly.
•
When the Status LED is blinking yellow, a problem exists on the board.
•
When the Status LED is off, the board state is unknown. Verify that there is power to the board by
looking at the indicators on the power module.
