Chapter 1 Product Overview
Front Panel Description
Status LED
When the CSM powers up, it initializes various hardware components and communicates with the
supervisor engine. The Status LED indicates the supervisor engine operations and the initialization
results. During the normal initialization sequence, the status LED changes from off to red, orange, and
green.
Note For more information on the supervisor engine LEDs, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Module
Installation Guide.
Table 1-3 describes the Status LED operation.
RJ-45 Connector
The RJ-45 connector, which is covered by a removable plate, is used to connect a management station
device or a test device. This connector is used by field engineers to perform testing and to obtain dump
information.

Color Description
Off
• The module is waiting for the supervisor engine to provide power.
• The module is not online.
• The module is not receiving power, which could be caused by the following:
– Power is not available to the CSM.
– Module temperature is over the limit
1
.
1. Enter the show environment temperature mod command to display the temperature of each of four sensors on the CSM.
Red • The module is released from reset by the supervisor engine and is booting.
• If the boot code fails to run, the LED stays red after power up.
Orange
• The module is initializing hardware or communicating with the supervisor
engine.
• A fault occurred during the initialization sequence.
• The module has failed to download its Field Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGAs) on power up but continues with the remainder of the initialization
sequence and provides the module online status from the supervisor engine.
• The module has not received module online status from the supervisor engine.
This problem could be caused by the supervisor engine detecting a failure in
an external loopback test that it issued to the CSM.
Green
• The module is operational; the supervisor engine has provided module online
status.
Green to orange
• The module is disabled through the supervisor engine CLI

using the set
module disable mod command.
