When the system has reinitialized all interfaces, the MLC STATUS LED should be green (on) and the MPA
STATUS LEDs should be green (on). The port LEDs (C/A and A/L) may be green (on), depending on your
connections and configuration. The console screen also displays a message as the system discovers each
interface during its reinitialization.
The following sample display shows the events logged by the system as a MLC with a MPA was removed
from module slot 4 in the router. In this example, interface 0 (interface 4/0/0) on the MPA was up and active
when the MLC was removed from the router. Note that the system logs that the MLC was removed from slot
4 and that interface 4/0/0 is changed to down .

When you reinsert the MLC with the installed MPA, the system automatically brings up the interface that
was changed to down when the MLC was removed.

Use the following procedure to verify that a MLC and MPA are installed correctly:
1. Observe the console display messages and verify that the system discovers the MLC, while the system
reinitializes each interface, as follows:
1. As a MLC is initialized, the STATUS LED will first be amber, indicating that power is on, but the
MLC is being configured. When the MLC is active, the STATUS LED will illuminate green.
2. Modular port adapters (MPAs) will follow the same sequence after the MLC has completed its
initialization. The MPA STATUS LEDs will illuminate amber, turning to green when the modular
port adapters (MPAs) become active.
3. When the MLC and MPA STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are configurable.
See Cisco ASR 9000 Series Router Getting Started Guide and Cisco Series Router Interface and Hardware
Component Configuration Guide for configuration instructions.
• If a MLC or MPA is replaced with a module of the same type (as in an OIR or hardware swap), the
previous configuration is reinstated when the MLC or MPA becomes active.
• If a MLC or MPA has not been previously installed in the same slot or subslot, then the configuration
for all associated interfaces is empty.
2. If the modular line cards (MLCs) and modular port adapters (MPAs) have not become active within three
minutes, refer to the system console messages. If there is no indication that a field-programmable device
(FPD) upgrade is underway, see Verifying and Troubleshooting the Line Card Installation, on page 137.
