RSP8 LEDs

Figure 12

shows the LEDs on the RSP8 faceplate. The LEDs on the RSP8 indicate the system and RSP8

status and which PC Card slot is active. The CPU halt LED, which goes on only if the system detects a
processor hardware failure, should remain off. A successful boot is indicated when the normal LED goes
on; however, this does not necessarily mean that the system has reached normal operation. During
normal operation, the CPU halt LED should be off, and the normal LED should be on, indicating that
the RSP8 is rec5V. The slot 0 and slot 1 LEDs indicate which PC Card slot is in use, and each
LED blinks when the card is accessed by the system. The active and the standby LEDs provide a visual
indication of whether the RSP8 is designated an active or a standby device.

Note

The Active/Standy switch has been deactivated in software.

Caution

The reset switch (see

Figure 12

) resets the RSP8 and the entire system. To prevent system errors and

problems, use it only at the direction of your Cisco-certified service representative.
