Configure the Device
Before you begin this task, ensure that you have read and understood the safety warnings in the
section of the
handout topic.
Configuring the Cisco ASR 920 Router involves these tasks:
•
Power up the Device, on page 53
•
Configure Device at Startup, on page 54
•
Safely Power Down the Device, on page 57
Power up the Device
After installing your device and connecting cables, start the device with these steps:
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop appearing, and the PWR LED becomes solid
green. Any key that is pressed during this time is interpreted as a command to be executed when the messages
stop. That action results in getting the device to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages
to stop appearing.
Caution
Procedure
Step 1
Switch on the power supply.
Step 2
Observe the system LEDs to monitor the initialization process.
When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds), the device begins to initialize. After the
device has booted, the green PWR LED comes and stays on.
Verify the Front Panel LEDs
The front-panel indicator LEDs provide power, activity, and status information useful during bootup. For
more detailed information about the LEDs, see the
LED Indicators
section.
