Powering On and Booting the Software
To power on the X-Pedition and boot the software:
1.Make sure any exposed expansion slots are free of foreign objects, such as tools or your hands, and are covered with coverplates.
2.Plug the X-Pedition’s power supplies into a power source. Assuming that your power source is currently active, the router will automatically power on and attempt to boot using the software image in the motherboard’s boot flash.
While the software is booting, the HBT (heartbeat) LED on the chassis flashes. When the software finishes booting, the HBT LED goes dark and the OK LED lights up, indicating that the X-Pedition software is online. As the software boots, the management console attached to the X-Pedition’s DB-9 DCE port displays messages related to the phases of the boot sequence. When the software is fully booted, the following message appears on the management console:
Press RETURN to activate console...
3.Press Return (or Enter) to activate the CLI on the console.
