Bring-up Cisco NCS 1002
After installing the hardware, boot the Cisco NCS 1002 system. You can connect to the XR console port and
power on the system. NCS 1002 completes the boot process using the pre-installed operating system (OS)
image. If no image is available, NCS 1002 can be booted using the iPXE boot or an external bootable USB
drive.
After booting, create the root username and password, and then use it to log on to the XR console. From the
XR console, access the System Admin console to configure system administration settings.
