Table 3-1 defines the boot states and the Status LEDs blinking patterns.
If an error occurs during a test, the console displays an error message, increments
the detected error counter, and continues to the next test until it completes all of
the power-on self tests. For more information on errors and messages, refer to
Appendix C, Troubleshooting.

fails.
If a Fast Ethernet Module fails in the CSS 11503
or CSS 11506, all of its Link and Duplex LEDs
blink simultaneously.
In the CSS 11503 or CSS 11506, when the
master SCM in slot 1 detects a module failure, its
Status LED is green and blinks slowly.
When the master SCM in slot 1 fails, the CSS
does not boot unless there is a passive SCM in
