Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Power Up and Initial
Configuration
This chapter guides you through a basic router configuration, which is sufficient for you to access your
network. Complex configuration procedures are beyond the scope of this publication and can be found
in the modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software
configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco
hardware.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup, page 5-1
• Powering Up the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router, page 5-2
• Performing the Initial Configuration on the Router, page 5-4
• Saving Your Router Configuration, page 5-13
• Verifying the Initial Configuration, page 5-14
• Powering Off the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Safely, page 5-14
• Environmental Monitoring and Reporting Functions, page 5-15
Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup
Ensure that all the card slots and compartments are closed. Install blank faceplates on empty slots.
Always have power supply slots filled. If you leave a power supply slot uncovered, then you risk
exposure to hazardous voltages on the power pins on the midplane.
Warning
Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to
hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI)
that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not
operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.
