Cisco ICS 7750 Processor Cards
This chapter describes the processor cards used in the Cisco Integrated Communications System (ICS) 7750 and includes the following sections:
The system switch processor (SSP) card is an Ethernet switching module that passes system data between all system cards and to any Catalyst switches connected to the system.
The following are SSP card features:
- Front-panel LEDs
- Hot-swap push button
- Two 10/100 Ethernet ports for switching between the Cisco ICS 7750 and any connected Catalyst switches
- Auto negotiation support on all ports
- Half- and full-duplex support on all ports
Figure 5-1 illustrates the SSP card, and Table 5-1 describes the front-panel LEDs and other features.

| LED
| Description
|
STATUS
| Shows card status. The LED is
- Solid green when the power-on self-test is complete, card initialization is complete, and the card is operating correctly.
- Blinking green when the power-on self-test is in process or when the card is shutting down because the SHTDN (hot-swap) button has been pressed.
- Off when the hot-swap button has been pressed and the card can be removed or when the power is off for the entire Cisco ICS 7750.
|
ALARM
| When there is an abnormal system condition (alarm condition) on the card the LED is
- Solid amber when a major alarm condition has been detected on the card.
- Solid yellow when a minor alarm condition has been detected on the card.
|
1X
| Shows port 1x status. The LED is
- Solid green when there is Ethernet link integrity on the port.
- Blinking green when Ethernet traffic is sent over the port.
|
2X
| Shows port 2x status. The LED is
- Solid green when there is Ethernet link integrity on the port.
- Blinking green when Ethernet traffic is sent over the port.
|
The system alarm processor (SAP) card monitors the chassis, power supply modules, and fans and reports real-time data to the system processing engine cards.
Following are the SAP card features:
- Front-panel LEDs.
- Hot-swap push button.
- Console port to monitor and manage with a directly-connected terminal or over a modem connection (9600-baud maximum).
- Two front-panel COM ports supporting connection to legacy voice mail systems (SMDI systems only) and to a UPS.
- Monitors and controls system fans.
- Monitors system temperature.
- Reports status and alarm conditions to the master system processing engine (SPE).
- Resets individual system cards or all system cards when required.
- Reroutes data to the backup SPE if the master SPE fails.
Figure 5-2 illustrates the SAP card, and Table 5-2 describes the front-panel LEDs and other features.

STATUS
| Shows card status. The LED is
- Solid green when the power-on self-test is complete, card initialization is complete, and the card is operating correctly.
- Blinking green when the power-on self-test is in process or when the card is shutting down because the SHTDN (hot-swap) button has been pressed.
- Off when the hot-swap button has been pressed and the module can be removed from the chassis or when the power is off for the entire Cisco ICS 7750.
|
ALARM
| When there is an abnormal system condition (alarm condition) on the card the LED is
- Solid amber when a major alarm condition has been detected on the card.
- Solid yellow when a minor alarm condition has been detected on the card.
|
PWR 1
| - Solid green when the power supply module is operating correctly and is supplying power to the chassis.
- Blinking green when the system has detected load degradationthe power supply module is heating above normal conditions in relation to the amount of power it is supplying to the system.
- Off when the power supply module is not operating or is turned off.
|
PWR 2
| - Solid green when the power supply module is operating correctly and is supplying power to the chassis.
- Blinking green when the system has detected load degradationthe power supply module is heating above normal conditions in relation to the amount of power it is supplying to the system.
- Off when the power supply module is not operating or is turned off.
|
FAN
| Solid yellow means there is a possible fan tray failure or that the fan rotation speed is degrading.
Refer to the "Solving Hardware Problems" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Administration and Troubleshooting Guide.
|
TEMP
| Solid yellow means that the chassis temperature has exceeded the recommended temperature threshold.
Refer to the "Solving Hardware Problems" chapter in the Cisco ICS 7750 Administration and Troubleshooting Guide.

The MRP card is a voice- and data-capable router that carries voice and data traffic over an IP network and can link remote Ethernet LANs to central-office LANs over different types of WAN links.
- Front-panel LEDs
- Hot-swap pushbutton
- Two slots for WAN interface card (WIC), voice interface card (VIC), or VWIC support
- Motorola MPC860T PowerQUICC communication processor
- 32 MB of SDRAM, with 32 MB of expandable SDRAM on a DIMM module, for program execution
- Two SIMM-72 sockets that each support up to five DSPs
- Hardware watchdog timer
Figure 5-3 illustrates the MRP card, and Table 5-3 describes the front-panel LEDs.

STATUS LED
| Shows card status. The LED is
- Solid green when the power-on self-test is complete, card initialization is complete, and the card is operating correctly.
- Blinking green when the power-on self-test is in process or the card is shutting down because the SHTDN (hot-swap) button has been pressed.
- Off when the hot-swap button has been pressed and the module can be removed from the chassis or when the power is off for the entire Cisco ICS 7750.
|
ALARM LED
| When there is an abnormal system condition (alarm condition) on the card the LED is
- Solid amber when a major alarm condition has been detected on the card.
