Diagnostic Tests for Hardware and Error Messages
At the beginning of the boot process, the Cisco 11500 series CSS performs
diagnostic tests on the hardware. When the CSS powers up, it first displays a
series of messages (see the
Chapter 1, Booting, Logging In, and Getting Started
)
and then the hardware goes through a series of power-on self tests.
If an error occurs during a test, the console displays an error message, increments
the detected error counter, and continues to the next test until the CSS completes
all of the power-on self tests. The error messages appear in the following format:
