Chapter3 Initial Configuration
Starting Up the CiscoONS 15530
The CPU switch module providesa slot on the front panel that accommodates a CompactFlash card. You
can use the CompactFlash card for system image upgrades, FPGA image upgrades, statistics gathering,
and other file system applications.
The Cisco ONS 15530 supports redundant operation with dual CPU switch modules. The CPU switch
modules reside in slots 5 and 6, the sixth and seventh slots from the left as you face the chassis. For more
information about redundancy,see the “About CPU Switch Module Redundancy” section on page 3-12.
For more information on the CPU switch module, refer to the Cisco ONS 15530 ESP Hardware
Installation Guide.
Starting Up the Cisco ONS 15530
Before starting up the Cisco ONS 15530, you should verify the following:
•The system is set for the correct AC (or DC) power voltages.
Refer to the Cisco ONS 15530 Hardware Installation Guide for correct power voltages.
•The cables are connected to the system.
•A console terminal is connected to the system.
Refer to the Cisco ONS 15530 Hardware Installation Guide for instructions.
When you start up the Cisco ONS 15530, the CLI (command-line interface) prompts you to enter the

You can now begin configuring the CPU switch module.
Using the Console Ports, NME Ports, and Auxiliary Ports
You can configure the CiscoONS 15530 from a direct console connection to the console port or
remotely through its NME (network management Ethernet) port.
•If you are using a direct console connection, configure your terminal emulation program for
9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
•If you are using the NME port interface, you must assign an IP address to the interface
(fastethernet 0).
For interface configuration instructions, see the“Configuring IP Access on the NME Interface”
section on page 3-4.
For further details on configuring ports and lines for management access, refer to the
Cisco IOS Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
