To initialize the system, follow these steps:
Step 1 When the compact flash card is installed in the cf3: slot, the Compact Flash 3 LED on the
active CPM front panel lights green.
Step 2 Depress the Reset button on the active CPM or power cycle the router to initiate the boot
process.
Step 3
The system searches cf3: for the
boot.ldr
file (also known as the bootstrap file).
Step 4
Verify the operational status by checking the Power and Status LEDs on the active CPM
faceplate. If the LEDs on the front panel blink continuously, refer to
Troubleshooting on
page 90 .
Step 5
After verifying the LEDs, proceed with the IOM and MDA installation and
configurations.
You can either preconfigure the IOMs, MDAs, and ports prior to installation or install the
IOMs and MDAs first and then configure the parameters.
To preconfigure IOMs and MDAs, see Configuring Chassis Slot and IOM Parameters on
page 100 .

ROUBLESHOOTING
If the system cannot load or cannot find the
boot.ldr
file on cf3:, the system checks for a manual
boot sequence interruption. Unless an unsuccessful system initialization is manually interrupted,
the system will continuously reboot in an attempt to successfully find and load the
boot.ldr
file.
Load a compact flash card with the appropriate
boot.ldr
file into the cf3: slot.
When the system finds the
boot.ldr
file, the system processes the initialization parameters from
the BOF. The BOF should be on the same drive as the boot loader file. If the
BOF
cannot be found
or loaded, then the system prompts for a different image and configuration location.
When the image is successfully loaded, control is passed from the boot loader file to the image.
The runtime image attempts to locate the configuration file as configured in the BOF. The
configuration file include chassis, IOM, MDA, and port configurations, as well as system, routing,
and service configurations.
