Blown Fuse Indicators
The router uses fuses from the Cooper Bussman brand GMT series for the
FPCs, MCSs, PCGs, and SFMs. They are located in a fuse box on the rear
ofthemidplane. Whenthefuseforacomponentblows,thecomponent

supplies are still providing power to the router.
Figure 107 shows the location in the fuse box of the fuse for each component.
The labels shown in the figure do not appear on the actual fuses (the clear cover
on every fuse reads
BUSS GMT-X), but a table on the surface of the midplane
below the fuse box displays the same information.

When a fuse has blown but the power supplies are still delivering power to router,
the amber LED adjacent to the fuse lights. For vertically oriented fuses (in the
groups labeled
J241 through J244 in Figure 107), the LED is located below the fuse;
for horizontally oriented fuses (in the group labeled
J240), it is to the left of the fuse.
NOTE: The LEDs are each about 0.1” (2 mm) square. They might be difficult
to see when not lit.
Another indication that a fuse has blown is that the colored indicator bulb
inside it becomes visible through the clear cover on the fuse. For information
about the indicator bulb color for each fuse type, see Table 25.
