Checklist for Power Up

You may power up the Cisco router if the following steps have been completed:

Mount and ground the chassis securely.

Connect the power and interface cables.

Make sure that the external CompactFlash memory card is properly seated into its slot. For installation instructions, see “Installing and Replacing CompactFlash Memory Cards on Cisco 1800 Series Routers (Modular)”.

Connect a PC to the router’s console port.

Start HyperTerminal or a similar terminal emulation program on your PC. Select the appropriate PC COM port. Set the terminal emulation program configuration for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and no parity.

Note For initial power up, we recommend a direct console connection. After the intial configuration is completed, a remote modem connection can be used for router management.

Caution To ensure adequate cooling, never operate the router unless the cover and all modules and cover plates are installed.

Caution To prevent damage to the ejector mechanism, the ejector button next to the CompactFlash memory card must remain fully seated when not being used to eject a CompactFlash memory card.

LED Indicators

The meanings of the LED indicators for Cisco 1800 series routers are summarized in Table 2-5. For more detailed information about the LEDs, see Chapter 8, “Troubleshooting Cisco 1800 Series Routers (Modular).”
