1. Take the host module offline.
2. Take the MCS offline.
3. Remove the MCS and replace it with one
that you know works.

Redundant MCSs Overview
Inspect redundant MCSs to ensure that functions are interrupted, such as component
alarm messages; component power-up and power-down; Routing Engine, MCS, and
PCG mastership control; SONET clock generation and monitoring; and system clock
monitoring.
Redundant MCSs are two MCSs installed in the M40e or M160 router.
The MCS is a component of the host module. Each MCS requires a Routing Engine to be
installed in an adjacent slot. MCS0 installs above slot RE0, and MCS1 installs below slot
RE1. Even if an MCS is physically installed in the chassis, it does not function if there is no
Routing Engine present in the adjacent slot.
