To achieve redundancy, two TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O cards must be installed in the NCS
2006 shelf or two TNCS/TNCS-O cards must be installed in the NCS 2015 shelf.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1
Open the latches/ejectors of the first TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card that you will install.
Step 2
Use the latches/ejectors to firmly slide the card horizontally along the guide rails until the card plugs into the
receptacle at the back of the slot (slot 1 or 8 in the NCS 2006 shelf, slot 1 in the NCS 2002 shelf, and slot 1
or 17 in the NCS 2015 shelf).
Step 3
Verify that the card is inserted correctly, and close the latches/ejectors on the card.
If you insert a card into a slot assigned for a different card, all LEDs turn off.
Step 4
As needed, verify the LED activity on the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card.
•
The red FAIL LED, PWR LED turn on briefly.
•
The red FAIL LED turns on for about 10 seconds.
•
The red FAIL LED and the amber ACT/STBY LED turn on for about 30 seconds.
•
The red FAIL LED blinks for about 10 seconds.
•
The red FAIL LED turns on for about 15 seconds.
•
All the LEDs including the CRIT, MAJ, MIN, REM, SYNC, and ACO LEDs blink once and turn off
for about 10 seconds.
•
ACT/STBY LED blinks for about 1 second.
•
All the LEDs including the CRIT, MAJ, MIN, REM, SYNC, and ACO LEDs turn off for about 10
seconds.
•
The ACT/STBY, ACO, and PWR LEDs turn on.
•
The boot-up process is complete when the PWR LEDs turn green and the amber ACT/STBY remains
on. The ACT/STBY LED turns green if this is the first TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card
installed, and amber if this is the second TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card installed.
It might take up to four minutes for the power alarms to clear.Note
Alarm LEDs might be on. After completing the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card
installation, log in to CTC and click the Alarms tab to display the alarms raised on the card. For
procedure to clear the alarm, see the Cisco NCS 2000 Series Troubleshooting Guide.
Note
During the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card initialization, the SFTWDOWN alarm
appears twice. The alarm clears after the TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card boots
completely.
Note
If the FAIL LED is on continuously, see the tip in Step 9 about the
TNC/TNCE/TSC/TSCE/TNCS/TNCS-O card automatic upload.
