General Troubleshooting Tips
Read the following general troubleshooting tips you might encounter at startup.
Note You must always have two power supplies installed in the Cisco ASR 1000 Series routers to insure sufficient cooling for the box. The system fans are inside the power supply and must spin for cooling. Since all the system fans can be powered by one power supply, it is not required for the second power supply to be powered on, but it must be installed.

| • All power cords are properly connected to the Cisco ASR 1000 |
| Series Router and at the power connection end. |
| • The power switch is in the ON position. |

properly | Series RP1and make certain all connections are secure. |

Power problems | If the two power supplies are both showing GREEN on their Output |
| LEDs, then a failure of one power supply will not result in a system |
| failure. |
| Only one operating power supply is required for a Cisco ASR 1000 |
| series Router system to operate. Having only one supply powered is |
| a supported configuration. If both supplies have an OUTPUT FAIL |
| LED red, then the system will fail. |
