When new Huawei NE40 router installed and configured in new site, you need to check whether all boards are properly installed and work normally. This article mainly talk about how to check NE40E boards including including main control boards and service boards registration status.

Prerequisites

Logging In to the NE40E is complete.

Procedure

1. Run the display device [ pic-status | slot-id ] command to view information about the components installed on the NE40E. If [ pic-status | slot-id ] is specified, the command will display information about the broads.

   Pay attention to the Register and Status fields in the displayed information.

   • Register field: indicates whether a component is successfully registered. The field value can be Registered or Unregistered. Registered indicates that a component is successfully registered. Unregistered indicates that a component is not registered.
   • Status field: indicates the component status. The field value can be Normal or Abnormal.

   If the Register field values are Registered and the Status field values are Normal, as shown by the characters in boldface in the preceding displayed information, go on with the subsequent commissioning.

Troubleshooting

If the interface board or SFU like NE40E-X8 200Gbps Switch Fabric Unit CR5DSFUIE07C is not registered, perform the following operations:

1. Check that the start-up time of the board has expired.

   The time required for a board to complete registration after it is powered on is called the start-up time.

   Normally, an LPU can complete the start-up process within 5 minutes. If the system software and related files need to be updated, an LPU can complete the start-up process within 10 minutes.

   Normally, an SFU can complete the start-up process within 2 minutes. If the system software and related files need to be updated, an SFU can complete the start-up process within 5 minutes.

   Wait until the start-up time expires. If the board is still unregistered when the start-up time expires, go to Step 2.

2. Check that the board type is supported by the system software.

   Supported board types vary with system software versions. For the types of boards that are supported by this software version, see the chapter titled "Boards" in the HUAWEI NetEngine40E Universal Service Router Hardware Description.

   If the board type is supported by this system software version but the board cannot be registered, go to Step 3.

3. Check that the board has been powered on.

   Run the power on slot ? command in the user view. If "<null>" is displayed, all boards have been powered on.

   If the slot number of the board is displayed, the board is not powered on. Check whether the power supply of the slot where the board resides is normal. If the indicator on the board is on, the power supply of this slot is normal.

   • If the power supply of the slot is abnormal, contact Huawei technical support personnel.
   • If the power supply of the slot is normal but the system still informs that the board is not powered on, the power module on the board is faulty. In this case, you need to replace the board.

   If the power supply of the slave MPU is normal but the board still cannot be registered, go to Step 4.

4. If a new board cannot be registered, remove the board and then insert it back. If the board still cannot be registered, go to Step 5.

5. Collect the following information and contact Huawei technical support personnel:

• Results of the preceding operation procedure.
• Configuration files, log files, and alarm files of the NE40E

After checked all boards are power on and are in normal staus, then you can configure relative service according to your needs; if there exist some technical problem, you can contact supports@thunder-link.com.
