•
When the card status LED is blinking yellow, the card is not fully seated.
•
When the card status LED is off, verify that the card is installed correctly. There could be no power
applied to the card, a power fault, or a hardware fault.
•
Verify that there is power to the card by looking at the indicators on the power tray.
To verify which card needs attention, the Attention LED can be lit using the hw-module attention-led
location CLI command.
Note
If the installed or replaced FC fails to operate or power on after installation:
•
Ensure that the card is seated firmly in the Cisco NCS 4016 chassis slot. One easy way to verify physical
installation is to see whether the front faceplate of the FC is even with the fronts of the other cards
installed in the card cage.
•
Ensure that 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 FC.
•
Examine the power system to see whether the chassis is receiving power.
About Line Cards
The Cisco NCS 4016 chassis supports Optical Transport Network (OTN) line cards (LCs), packet LCs, and
Dense Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (DWDM) line cards. You can have a mix of OTN, packet, and
DWDM line cards in the same chassis.
This section describes the following line cards:
