Note You can not run the dspcd command on the SRM itself, because all SRM card configuration is
done from the PXM card. Enter dspcd <SRM_slot_number> at the PXM to display information
about the SRM cards in your switch.
b. In the worksheet for your switch type, write down the following information for each card:
– Upper back card type that appears in the Upper Card column of the Inserted Card row.
– Lower back card type that appears in the Lower Card column of the Inserted Card row.
Tip Another way to display a detailed report on a card is to enter the cc command to select the card,
then use the dspcd command without a slot number. However, the preferred method is to use the
dspcd command with a slot number because this method can display information on a card when
card errors prevent access through the cc command.
Step 5 After you enter the required information for all cards in hardware survey worksheet, verify that each card
is installed in a slot that supports that card type. You also need to verify that the correct back cards are
installed for the corresponding front cards. Refer to the table titled “Valid Slot Installation Options” in
Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Hardware Installation Guide, Releases 2 - 5.1.
Note The locations where the upper and lower back cards are installed are also called bays. On a
MGX 8850 (PXM1E/PXM45) or MGX 8950 switch, each slot has an upper and a lower bay for
back cards.
If any of the cards are installed incorrectly, refer to the Cisco MGX 8800/8900 Hardware Installation
Guide, Releases 2 - 5.1 for instructions on installing the cards correctly..
