Chapter 13 Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers Power Up and Initial Configuration
Powering Up the Cisco ASR 1000 Series Routers
Note
To view the boot sequence, you must have a console connection to the Cisco ASR 1000 Series
Routers before it powers up.
Step 2
Move the power switch to the ON position. Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them
operating.
Step 3
Depending on your installation, some LEDs on the rear of the chassis and on installed modules also come
on.
Caution
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop and the SYS PWR LED is solid green.
Any keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop,
which might cause the router to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.
Note
This is only an example of what can display. The system boots differently depending upon the
configuration that ships with your system.
Step 4
Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds),
the Cisco ASR 1000 RP1 begins to initialize.
