Chapter 5 Preparing RPM-PR Cards for Operation
Locating RPM-PR Cards in the Switch
Locating RPM-PR Cards in the Switch
You already have the location of the RPM-PR cards if you have completed the Hardware Configuration
Worksheet (See Table 2-10) in the “Verifying the Hardware Configuration” section of Chapter 2,
“Configuring General Switch Features.” That section describes how to locate the RPM-PR cards, as well
as other switch cards, and how to determine if the RPM-PR front and back cards are installed in the
correct slots.
Understanding dspcds and dspcd Displays for RPM-PR
The dspcds and dspcd displays for RPM-PR cards are similar to those for other cards, but they contain
the following differences:
• RPM-PR cards are identified as RPM_PR cards.
• If one or more RPM-PR back card are installed for an RPM-PR card, the status for the appropriate
bay changes from Empty to Active. The switch does not detect and display the card type or software
revision status.
• The Standby status for the front card indicates that the card is either operating in boot mode, or that
the card is operating as a standby card for another RPM-PR card.
