Installing Modules and Cables in the Chassis
Step 2
When the MPA STATUS LEDs are green, all associated interfaces are configurable.

If the modular port adapters (MPAs) do not become active within three minutes, refer to the system console
messages. If there is no indication that a field-programmable device (FPD) upgrade is underway, see

Using show Commands to Verify Modular Port Adapter (MPA) Status
This procedure uses show commands to verify that the new modular port adapters (MPAs) are configured
and operating correctly.
To verify the MPA status:
Procedure
Step 1
Use the show running-config command to display the system configuration. Verify that the configuration
includes the new MPA interfaces.
Step 2
Use the show diag command to display information about the installed modular line cards (MLCs).
Step 3
Use the show hw-module fpd location <rack/slot/subslot> command to verify the FPD version information
of the MPAs installed in the system.
Note
Step 4
Use the show platform command to check the state of all boards in the chassis, including the MLC and the
MPAs.
The MPA state should be "OK" and the MLC state should be "IOS XR RUN" in the show platform command
output.
Step 5
Use the show version command to obtain software version information for the installed MLCs as well as
interfaces available.

New interfaces are not made available until you configure them.
If a modular port adapter (MPA) does not meet the minimum version required, the FPD may need
to be updated. See the
Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Services Router System Management
Configuration Guide
for instructions. If the update fails, the failing module is powered down and
