Step 2
Ensure that the router is adequately grounded as described in the
Grounding Cisco NCS 5000, on page 27
,
and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC power voltages (see
Power
Specifications, on page 49
)
Step 3
For the router, insert each end of the power clip (from the accessory kit) into holes on tabs located on either
side of the power connectors.
Step 4
Connect each power cable to the power connectors on the router and an AC power source. Press the power
cable into the power clip to ensure that the power cable stays connected to the router when bumped. The router
should power on as soon as you connect the power cable.
Step 5
Check if the fans are operational; they should begin operating when the power cable is plugged in.
Step 6
After the router boots up, verify that the power supply Status LED is green. After initialization, the system
status LED is green, indicating that all router environmental monitors are reporting that the system is operational.
If this LED is orange or red, then one or more environmental monitor is reporting a problem.
The Link LEDs for the Ethernet connector should not be ON unless the cable is connected.
Note
Step 7
Try removing and reinstalling a component that is not operating correctly. If it still does not operate correctly,
contact your customer service representative for a replacement.
