These are things I didn't really know about, and will use in the future. Thanks a lot, everybody. I finally got these rolling by booting to interactive mode and loading the fpgas, though the chassis didn't recognize i-mode the first time around on one of the cards. I'm learning that persistence is as important as know-how, in some cases.<br>
<br>But the info I've received in the past day has really made me more confident I can address the issue better in the future.<br><br>Thanks again, everyone.<br><br>. . .

<b>Subject:</b> [f-nsp] Line Cards not Booting on NI-MLX-4<br></font><br></div><div><div></div><div class="h5">
<div>Hi all--<br><br>I've got a couple of NI-MLX-1Gx20-SFPs that I'm trying to bring up on an NI-MLX-MR running 4.00ca, and I can't get the cards to boot. They keep looping through a "CARD_STATE_BOOT" "CARD_STATE_SW_LOADED " "CARD_STATE_SYNC_FID" loop, but won't come up active. I can't update the lp files unless the card comes up. I've tried this:<br>
<br>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Config t<br> lp boot system interactive [slot#]<br>exit<br> wr mem<br>Power-off lp [slot#]<br>Power-on lp [slot#]<br>lp boot system mp primary [slot#]</span><br><br>and the lp images load from the mp, but they don't seem to stick, because the line card doesn't go active.<br>
<br>Do I need to issue a "no lp boot system interactive" + new "wr mem" + reload command to get it up and running? It doesn't seem to work. Am I missing something obvious.<br><br>Help is extremely appreciated. I'm a little stumped right now.<br>
<br>Thanks.<br><br>--Chuck<br></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br>
