System Startup
This chapter describes how to start the system and initially configure your Cisco uBR7100 series router. The chapter contains the following sections:

Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup
•Starting the System
This chapter guides you through system startup. Complex configuration procedures are beyond the scope of this publication and can be found in the following publications:
•Cisco uBR7100 Series Universal Broadband Router Software Configuration Guide, at the following URL:
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/cable/ubr7100/scg7100/index.htm
This document contains sample configurations and procedures for configuring a Cisco uBR7100 series router.
•Modular configuration and modular command reference publications in the Cisco IOS software configuration documentation set that corresponds to the software release installed on your Cisco hardware.
Note For information on other publications, see the "Related Documentation" section on page 8.
To configure a router from a console, you must connect a terminal to the router's console port.
Checking Conditions Prior to System Startup
Check the following conditions before you start your router:
•The port adapter is securely inserted in its slot.
•All network interface cables are connected.
•A flash disk or flash memory card is installed in the PCMCIA card slot.
•The power cable is connected and secured.
•The console terminal is connected and powered on.
Starting the System
After installing the router and connecting cables, start the router as follows:
Step 1 At the back of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. The green power (PWR) LED on the router comes on.
Step 2 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 3 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on the fixed interfaces and the modular port adapter go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time.
Step 4 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the network processor begins to initialize the interfaces. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port behave differently (most flash on and off).
The enabled LED on each interface goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a system banner similar to the following:
Use, duplication, or disclosure by the Government is
subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph
(c) of the Commercial Computer Software - Restricted
Rights clause at FAR sec. 52.227-19 and subparagraph
(c) (1) (ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer
Software clause at DFARS sec. 252.227-7013.

Step 5 When you start up the router for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup 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 see the following System Configuration Dialog prompt:
--- System Configuration Dialog ---
Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:
You have the following options:
•Enter yes to proceed with the setup facility to configure the router's interfaces
•Enter no to exit the setup procedure, and instead proceed to use command line interface (CLI) configuration commands to configure the global (system-wide) and interface-specific parameters.
Note 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.
If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, proceed to Chapter 5, "Troubleshooting the Installation," for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.
System LEDs
Many of the interface LEDs do not go on until you have configured them. To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration, and then use the LEDs to check the status of the interfaces.
The LEDs indicate the status of the router. The CPU reset button that you to reset the entire system. The LEDs are shown in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2, and are described in Table 4-1.
Caution To prevent system errors and problems, use the CPU reset button only at the direction of your service representative.
