Use the status LEDs, located on the card faceplate, to verify the correct installation of the card:
• 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.
• When the Primary LED is on, the board is executing control processing functions and is not in a
secondary or standby role.
• If there is a failure during the board boot sequence, the four-row, four-character alphanumeric
display indicates the current boot phase to assist you in debugging the board failure.
