Cisco Systems 11500 Series manual Powering Down the CSS, Booting the CSS for the First Time

Chapter 3 Booting and Configuring the CSS

Powering Down the CSS

•For a DC CSS, switch on the applicable circuit breakers for the power source. Then on the CSS, toggle the power switch to the 1 (on) position.

–See Figure 2-13for the location of the CSS 11503 DC power switch.

–See Figure 2-15for the location of the CSS 11506 DC power switch for each power supply. Power on all of the supplies in the CSS. The I/P OK and DC OK LEDs light up on each power supply. If either LED remains unlit, refer to Appendix C, Troubleshooting.

The CSS starts the boot process. Proceed to “Booting the CSS for the First Time”.

Powering Down the CSS

To shut down the CSS gracefully and avoid introducing lost or fragmented files, always use the shutdown command prior to removing power from the CSS.

For example:

(config-boot)# shutdown

Once the CSS shuts down all processes, you can remove power from the CSS.

Booting the CSS for the First Time

When the CSS initially boots up, it:

•Performs hardware diagnostics.

•Prompts you to:

–Enter the software license key

–Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway for the Ethernet Management port, used for CSS configuration and management only; this port does not route traffic

–Change the default administrative login name (admin) and password (system)

–Password-protect the Offline Diagnostic Monitor (OffDM) menu
