Powering On the CiscoAS5800 and Observing Initial Startup Conditions 4-9
Starting the Cisco 7206
Step2 At the rear of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in th e ON (|)
position. Repeat this if a second power supply is installed. The green OK LED on the
power supply goes on.
Step3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If not, immediately
place the power switch on the power supply in the OFF (0) position and proceed to the
“Troubleshooting the Router Installation” section on page5-6.
Step4 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on most of the port
adapters go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again
for a short time. On the I/O controller, the IO power OK LED comes on immediately.
Step5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (in a few seconds),
the network processing engine begins to initialize t he port adapt ers and the I/O co ntroller .
During this initialization, the LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash
on and off). The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is
completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to th e
following:

Note If the system does not comple te e ach o f t he step s in th e st art u p proc edur e, pr o ceed
to the “Troubleshooting the Router Insta llation” section on page5-6 for troubleshooting
recommendations and procedures.
Step6 When you start up the Cisco 7206 for the first time, the system automatically enters the
setup command facility, which determines which por t adapte rs are install ed and pr ompts
you for configuration information for each one. On the conso le te rminal, after the s ystem
displays the system banner and hardware configuration, you will see the following
System Configuration Dialog prompt:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
At any point you may enter a questions mark '?' for help.
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt.
Default settings are in square brackets '[]'.
Continue with configuration dialog? [yes]:
You have the option of proceeding with the setup command facility to configure the interfaces,
orexiting from setup and using configuration commands to configure global (system-wide) and
interface-specific parameters. Y ou do not ha ve to config ure the interface s immediately; ho wever , you
cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any networks until you have configured them.
Many of the port adapter LEDs will not go on until you have configured the interfaces. To verify
correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration,
then refer to the configuration note for each port adapte r for LED des criptions a nd to chec k the statu s
of the interfaces.
Observing Router Shelf Port Adapter LEDs
The router shelf port adapter s contain enabled LEDs, which mus t be on for the system to be
operational. Refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Conf igur ation Guid e for a descripti on of router
shelf port adapter LEDs.
