2 Verifying proper operation
NOTE
Because the router is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or remove management modules and interface modules, there is no on/off power switch. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cords.
NOTE
Wall outlets should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
4.Verify that the router has initialized successfully. Refer to “Verifying proper operation” on page 142.
Verifying proper operation
To verify that your router is operating properly, observe the LEDs, or display the status of the modules using the CLI.
Observing the LEDs
When power is supplied to the router, you can observe the LEDs to verify that the router initialized successfully. Table 33 describes the LEDs, the desired state of each LED, possible abnormal states of each LED, and what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.
