Using the System LEDs to Troubleshoot
You can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence by 
checking the state of the LEDs on the power modules and line cards, and on the 
alphanumeric displays on the RP.
You should observe the following when you power on the router:
•
INPUT OK LEDs—These LEDs should light immediately; they should 
remain on as long as the system is receiving power from the power source and 
the power switch is in the on position.
The LEDs indicate the status of the PEM and internal DC voltages. If either 
LED does not light, or if they shut off while the power switch is on, there 
could be a problem with either the power source, the internal DC voltage used 
to power internal components, or the cooling subsystem.
The LEDs remain on when all of the following conditions are met:
–
AC PEMs: The AC power source voltage is operating between 
100-120 VAC and is using 15-Amp service for North America, or is 
operating between 185-264 VAC and is using 10-Amp service in an 
international environment.
–
DC PEMs: The DC power source is supplying power to the PEMs and the 
power switch is in the on position. 
Note
The amber OUTPUT FAIL LED is normally off, but lights if the 
PEM detects a fault.
–
The power supplies are providing –48 VDC to internal components.
