Identifying Startup Problems
Identifying Startup Problems
LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the LEDs, you can determine when
and where the system failed in the startup sequence.
To identify startup problems, follow these steps:
Step 1
Turn on the power supplies. You should immediately hear the system fan assembly begin to operate.
•
If you do not hear the fans operating, see the
“Troubleshooting the Power Supply” section on
page E-4
.
•
If you determine that the power supplies are functioning normally and that the fan assembly is faulty,
contact a customer service representative.
•
If the system fan assembly does not function properly at initial startup, there are no installation
adjustments that you can make. To replace the fan assembly, see the
“Removing and Installing the
Fan Tray” section on page 4-82
.
Step 2
Verify that the LEDs on the supervisor engine light as follows:
•
The STATUS LED should flash orange once and stay orange during diagnostic boot tests. It turns
green when the module is operational (online). If the system software is unable to start up, the
STATUS LED stays orange.
•
The SYSTEM LED should turn green, indicating that all chassis environmental monitors are
reporting that the system is OK. If one or more environmental monitor reports a problem, the
SYSTEM LED is orange or red.
•
The ACTIVE LED should turn green, indicating that the supervisor engine is operational and active.
If the supervisor engine is in standby mode, the ACTIVE LED is orange.
•
Each LINK LED should flash orange once and stay orange during diagnostic boot tests, and turn
green when the module is operational (online). If no signal is detected, the LINK LED turns off. The
LINK LED blinks orange if the port is bad.
If any LEDs on the supervisor engine front panel are red or orange, see the
“Troubleshooting Modules”
section on page E-5
.
If you have a redundant supervisor engine, refer to the
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Software
Configuration Guide
or the
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide
publications
for descriptions of how the redundant supervisor engine comes online and how the software
images are handled.
For a complete description of the supervisor engine LEDs, refer to the
Catalyst 6500 Series Switch
Module Installation Guide.
Step 3
Verify that the STATUS LEDs on the supervisor engine and on each switching module are green when
the supervisor engine completes initialization.
The STATUS LED indicates that the supervisor engine or switching modules are receiving power, have
been recognized by the supervisor engine, and contain a valid flash code version. This LED does not
indicate the state of the individual interfaces on the switching modules. If a STATUS LED is red or
orange, see the
“Troubleshooting Modules” section on page E-5
.
Step 4
If the startup information and system banner do not display at startup, refer to the
Catalyst 6500 Series
Switch Module Installation Guide
to verify that the terminal is set correctly and that it is connected
properly to the supervisor engine console port.
