Installing Fabric Cards
Fabric Card LEDs
Table 1 describes the LED indicators for the FCs.
• The Status LED and Attention LED indicate the status of the S2 fabric card. Each LED is a bi-color
green and yellow LED.
• The 32 CXP LEDs indicate the status of the CXP links. Each LED is a bi-color red and green LED.
Note that each FC slot must be configured as a fabric instance for the CXP LED to light up. For
example:
controller fabric plane 0
instance 0
location F0/FC0
Note To verify which card needs attention, the Attention LED can be lit using the hw-module attention-led
location command.
If the installed or replaced FC fails to operate or power on after installation:
• Ensure that the card is seated firmly in the FCC slot. One easy way to verify physical installation is
to see whether the front faceplate of the FC is even with the fronts of the other cards installed in the
card cage.
• Ensure that the ejector levers are latched and that the captive screws are fastened properly. If you
are uncertain, unlatch the levers, loosen the screws, and attempt to reseat the FC.
• Examine the power system to see whether the FCC is receiving power.
