the device cards installed in the CC9600 chassis. When the MR9600 is turned on, the lights go through the
following sequence before they act as status indicators for the device cards.

1. The LEDs on the right side turn red and then turn green when the right SIMM passes its memory

test.

2. The LEDs on the left side turn red and then turn green when the left SIMM passes its memory test.

3. The LEDs stay green for about five seconds while the flash boot code waits for a handshake sequence

on the diagnostic serial port.

4. If none is detected (this is normal unless the firmware is being updated through the diagnostic port)

the main controller code starts running and the LEDs are turned off.

5. The LEDs are turned on and off, one at a time, red and green.

6. All LEDs turn green while the system starts up.

7. After the system has started, the LEDs reflect the status of the device cards. Each LED will be in one

of the following states, depending on the device card.
