Troubleshooting the MX960 DPCs
Problem
Description
The DPCs are not functioning normally.
Solution
Monitor the green LED labeled OK above the DPC on the craft interface as soon as a DPC is seated in an operating router.
The Routing Engine downloads the DPC software to it under two conditions: the DPC is present when the Routing Engine boots Junos OS, and the DPC is installed and requested online through the CLI or push button on the front panel. The DPC then runs diagnostics, during which the OK LED blinks. When the DPC is online and functioning normally, the OK LED lights green steadily.
Make sure the DPC is properly seated in the midplane. Check that each ejector handle has been turned clockwise and is tight.
Check the OK/FAIL LED on the DPC and OK and FAIL DPC LEDs on the craft interface. When the DPC is online and functioning normally, the OK LED lights green steadily.
Issue the show chassis fpc command to check the status of installed DPCs. As shown in the sample output, the value Online in the column labeled State indicates that the DPC is functioning normally:
user@host> show chassis fpc Temp CPU Utilization (%) Memory Utilization (%) Slot State (C) Total Interrupt DRAM (MB) Heap Buffer 0 Online 41 9 0 1024 15 57 1 Online 43 5 0 1024 16 57 2 Online 43 11 0 1024 16 57 3 Empty 4 Empty 5 Online 42 6 0 1024 16 57Note:The show chassis fpc command displays the status of the DPCs.
For more detailed output, add the detail option. The following example does not specify a slot number, which is optional:
user@host> show chassis fpc detail Slot 2 information: State Online Temperature 22 degrees C / 71 degrees F Total CPU DRAM 1024 MB Total SRAM 256 MB Total SDRAM 0 MB Start time 2006-11-03 07:35:40 PST Uptime 2 hours, 27 minutes, 1 second Slot 4 information: State Online Temperature 22 degrees C / 71 degrees F Total CPU DRAM 1024 MB Total SRAM 256 MB Total SDRAM 0 MB Start time 2006-11-03 07:35:48 PST Uptime 2 hours, 26 minutes, 53 seconds Slot 7 information: State Online Temperature 24 degrees C / 75 degrees F Total CPU DRAM 1024 MB Total SRAM 256 MB Total SDRAM 0 MB Start time 2006-11-03 07:35:53 PST Uptime 2 hours, 26 minutes, 48 seconds
