Chapter 5 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router Power Up and Initial Configuration
Powering Up the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router
Ensure that the following conditions are addressed before starting up the router:
• The network interface cable or the optional Fast Ethernet 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 shared port adapter and the NIM is inserted in its slot, 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 Cisco ASR 1001-X Router
Prerequisites
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.
You are now ready to power on the system for the first time. Follow these steps.
Step 1 Move the 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 “Cisco ASR 1001-X Router LEDs” section on page 1-3.
Step 2 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds),
the Cisco ASR 1001-X Router begins to initialize.
The following is an example of what is displayed during the system boot process:
