Ensure that the following conditions are addressed before starting up the router:
•
The network interface cable or the optional Management port cable is connected.
•
The chassis is securely mounted and grounded.
•
The power and interface cables are connected.
•
Your PC with terminal emulation program (hyperTerminal or equivalent) is connected to the console
port, powered up, and is configured for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, with flow control
set to none.
•
You have selected passwords for access control.
•
Captive installation screws are tight on all removable components.
•
The console terminal is turned on.
•
You have determined the IP addresses for the network interfaces.
•
The EPA and the NIM are inserted in their slots, if applicable.
•
Empty card slots are filled with card blanks. This ensures proper air flow through the chassis and
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Powering Up the Router
You are now ready to power on the system for the first time. Follow these steps.
Before You Begin
Before you power on, make sure that:
•
The power supply cord is plugged into the power supply inlet.
•
All cables are connected.

Your computer is powered up and connected.
Procedure
Step 1
Move the chassis power switch to the ON position. Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them
operating. Ensure that the power supply LED OK is green and the FAIL LED is not illuminated.
The front-panel indicator LEDs provide power, activity, and status information useful during bootup. For
more detailed information about the LEDs, see the "
" section.
Step 2
Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds), the
router begins to initialize.
