Bringing Up and Configuring the Router
Software Requirements
The system requires compatible ROM Monitor firmware on all RPs.
Caution The ROM Monitor firmware on all RPs must be compatible with the Cisco IOS XR Software release
installed on the router. If the router is brought up with an incompatible version of the ROM Monitor
software, the standby RP may fail to boot. For instructions to overcome a boot block in the standby RSP,
see the Cisco ASR 9000 Series Aggregation Series Router ROM Monitor Guide.

The Cisco IOS XR Software runs on the configuration listed in the “System Configurations” section on
page 1-6. Before a router can be started, the following hardware management procedures must be
completed:

For information on how to complete these procedures for your router equipment, see the hardware
documents listed in the
“Conventions” section on page xii.
