Check the console terminal and make sure it is ON.
Step 2
When you have checked all of the connection points listed previously, turn on the power
Step 3
supply by pushing the system power switch to on (|). The DC OK indicator on the interface
processor end of the router should go on.
Listen for the system fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4
On the RP, the yellow boot error indicator goes on for about 5 seconds or less, then goes off
Step 5
when the boot is complete. If this indicator stays on longer than 10 seconds, or if it remains
on after system initialization, a boot error has occurred. Refer to the chapter
"Troubleshooting the Installation" for troubleshooting procedures.
During the boot process, the indicators on most of the interfaces go on and off in irregular
Step 6
sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. Some will stay on
during the entire boot process if an interface is already configured and brought up such as
the EIP receive indicator, which stays on as it detects traffic on the line). Wait until the
system boot is complete before attempting to verify the status of interface processor
indicators.
When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the RP begins to initialize the interface
Step 7
processors. During this initialization, the indicators on each interface processor behave
differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each interface processor goes on
when initialization has been completed, and the console screen displays a script and system
banner similar to the following:

When you start up the router for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup
Step 8
command facility, which determines which interfaces are installed and prompts you for
configuration information for each one. On the console terminal, after the system 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.
Refer to the 'Getting Started' Guide for additional help.
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, or exit from setup and use configuration commands to configure global
(system-wide) and interface-specific parameters. You do not have to configure the
interfaces immediately; however, you cannot enable the interfaces or connect them to any
networks until you have configured them.
Many of the interface processor LEDs will not go on until you have configured the interfaces. In
order to verify correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and
configuration, then refer to the LED descriptions in the appendix "Reading LED Indicators" to check
the status of the interfaces.
Your installation is complete. Proceed to the appropriate software configuration publications to
configure your interfaces.
If the system does not complete each of these steps, proceed to the chapter "Troubleshooting
Note
the Installation" for troubleshooting procedures.
