Troubleshooting the MGX 8220 Shelf
General Troubleshooting Procedures
The MGX 8220 shelf run self-tests continuously to ensure proper function. When the unit finds an error
condition that affects its operation, it downs the card or line that is affected. If it is caused by a card
failure and there is a redundant card, the failed card is downed and the standby card becomes the active
card.
The fail lights on the cards indicate that the system has found these cards defective in some mode, and
now considers them as failed cards. See Table 8-1 to find the cause and obtain information on replacing
the failed component.

Remedy
Press the black button on the power entry modules to switch
on the circuit breakers. If a problem persists, pull all cards and
power supplies out to see if a shorted card or supply exists.
Reconnect power cord.
Check status of card at control console entering the dspcds
screen. If the alarm is confirmed, try the card reset (resetcd
command). Finally, remove and replace the card.
Not a problem as long as a primary card is active.
Check event log to identify problem reported.
Observe port LEDs on each BNM.
Use control console dspln to locate failure.
Check front of cooling assembly for freedom of air flow.
Replace the assembly that might have failed or slowed. Check
free air flow in plenum chamber, remove blockage if
necessary.
Press ASM HIST (history clear) button. Check NMS event log
to determine cause.
local test of trunk. Loop trunk at DSX-3 crossconnect to check
cable.
Wait for download to complete.
