[c-nsp] SFC on 12008/GRP (12.0(27)S1)

[Sorin CONSTANTINESCU]

Hello,

We are running full bandwidth mode, and one of the SFCs seems to be
faulty. When i issue "show gsr", i see one SFC in disabled:

"state = Card NOT Powered; power off bad fab card"

So... the first thing i could think of was to try to change the SFC.
The field engineer who was on site reported me that the SFC had the OK
led (green) ON. After changing it:

=== cut here ===

=== and here ===

Looking at card in slot 5 (gigabitethernet), i noticed that the
fab-loader was old, so i've upgraded it.

Is there any way to activate the SFC in slot20 without reseating it? I
read a few pages on cisco website (including Hardware Troubleshooting
for the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router), but i dind't find this
piece of information.


TIA
