g. Periodically check the STATUS LED.
• If the STATUS LED changes from orange to green, the supervisor engine has successfully
completed the boot process and is now online.
• If the STATUS LED remains orange or turns red, the supervisor engine has not successfully
completed the boot process and may have encountered an error.
Chassis with vertical slots
a. Position the supervisor engine in the slot. (See Figure 3-3.) Make sure that you align the sides of the
supervisor engine carrier with the slot guides on the top and bottom of the chassis slot.
b. Carefully slide the supervisor engine into the slot until the EMI gasket along the right edge of the
module makes contact with the module or cover plate in the slot adjacent to it and the module ejector
levers have both closed to approximately 45
degrees with respect to the module faceplate. (See
Figure 3-4.)
