Table A-1 Troubleshooting
If You Experience This Difficulty... Try this Remedy...
The Riverstone RS Switch Router (RS)
exhibits no activity (no LEDs are on, the fan
module is not operating, and so on).
Make sure the power supply is installed and
plugged into a power source and the power source
is active. Also check to see whether the switch on
the power supply is in the ON position.
The power supply is installed but is not
operating.
Check the power cable and the circuit to which the
power supply is connected.
The fan module is not active. Check the power cable and the circuit to which the
power supply is connected.
If the green status LED on the power supply
indicates that it is active, immediately power
down the chassis, unplug the power supply, and
contact. The fan module may be improperly
connected or damaged.
The Control Module is not active. Check the power cable and the circuit to which the
power supply is connected.
If the power supply is working, make sure the
Control Module is inserted all the way into its slot
in the chassis and the captive screws are screwed
in. The Control Module must be in the CM or
CM/1 slot and not in a line card slot.
No line cards are active. Check the power cable and the circuit to which the
power supply is connected.
