Physical Inspection and Power On

The purpose of this step is to detect any obvious mechanical damage done to the chassis or to the system boards:

  • Check the chassis and the system boards for any sign of mechanical damage.

  • Check that all field-replaceable units—Switching and Forwarding Modules (SFMs), Flexible PIC Concentrators (FPCs), REs, MCSs, Compact Forwarding Engine Boards (CFEBs), power supplies, etc.—are correctly seated.

  • Connect the power supplies and turn them on one at a time.
