Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup

For complete descriptions and instructions for the environmental monitor commands, refer to the Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide and Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Command Reference publications, which are available online, on the Documentation CD-ROM, and in print.

Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup

Check the following conditions before you start your router:

•The port adapter is inserted in its slot and the port adapter latch is in the locked position.

•The network interface cable is connected to the port adapter.

•A CompactFlash Disk is installed.

•The console terminal is turned on.

You are now ready to start your router. Proceed to the section “Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions.”

Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions

After installing your Cisco 7401ASR router and connecting cables, start the router as follows:

Step 1 At the front of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the on () position.

Step 2 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.

Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. They may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the router, the green STATUS LED comes on and stays on.

Step 4 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the processor begins to initialize the port adapter and the I/O subsystem. During this initialization, the LEDs on the port adapter probably will flash on and off.

The enabled LED on the port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:
