g) Verify that the route processor card LEDs turn on and appear as follows:
• The Status (STS) LED blinks in amber color, then turns to solid amber color, and later turns to green color.
• The Active (ACT) LED is amber or green.
Replace a System Controller Module
The router can operate with one or two system controller modules installed in the chassis. You can replace
one system controller module while there is another one installed in the chassis.
Statement 1029—Blank Faceplates and Cover Panels
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
Warning
Statement 1034—Backplane Voltage
Hazardous voltage or energy is present on the backplane when the system is operating. Use caution when
servicing
