Cisco Cisco SCE 1010 Service Control Engine Installation Guide

Startup problems are commonly due to the source power or to a poor cable connection.

This section contains a detailed description of the normal startup sequence and describes the steps to take if the system does not 
perform that sequence as expected. LEDs indicate all system states in the startup sequence. By checking the state of the LEDs, 
you can determine when and where the system failed in the startup sequence. Use the following descriptions to isolate the 
problem to a subsystem, and then proceed to the appropriate sections to try to resolve the problem.

When you start up the system by turning on the power supply switch, the following should occur:

You should immediately hear the fans operating.

When all LEDs come on to indicate that the system has booted successfully, the initial system banner should be displayed 
on the console screen. If it is not displayed, see 

to verify that the terminal is set correctly 

and that it is properly connected to the console port.

If the banner is displayed, but the Status LED is flashing orange, indicating a warning state, check the user log:

At the prompt, type: 

more user log 

If any of the following warning messages appear, turn the SCE 1000 platform off and call technical support.

“voltage problem”

“fans problem”

Warning

Cisco SCE 1000 is fully operational (as 
above) but one of the following 
occurred:

Line ports (GBE ports) to the link are 
down

Management port link is down

Temperature raised above threshold

Voltage not in required range

Fans problem

Power supply problem

Insufficient space on the disk

If the condition that caused the SCE 
1000 to be in Warning state is resolved 
(for example, link is up) the SCE 1000 
reverts to Operational state.

Flashing orange

Failure

System is in Failure state after Boot due 
to one of the following conditions:

Power on test failure

Three abnormal reboots in less than 20 
minutes

Platform configured to enter Failure 
mode consequent to failure-induced 
reboot (this is configurable using CLI 
command)

Depending on the cause of failure, the 
management interface and the platform 
configuration may or may not be 
active/available.
