Step 1 Turn on power. The green OK LED on the power supply turns on. (Both power supplies are required in the Cisco ASR 1002 Router.)

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

Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The power LED should be green. The STATUS LED lights yellow to indicate booting and then green when Cisco IOS is running.

Table 3 provides information about the LEDs as the system starts.
