Powering On the Cisco AS5800 and Observing Initial Startup Conditions

This chapter explains how to power on the Cisco AS5800 and confirm normal system startup LED readings, and then confirm that the proper software is running on the router shelf and dial shelf.

Powering On the Cisco AS5800

After you have installed your dial shelf and router shelf and connected the cables, you are ready to start up the system by powering on the following components:

•Dial shelf

•AC-input power shelf, if applicable

•Router shelf

Before you power on the Cisco AS5800, you might want to prepare a terminal connection to view the software startup sequence. See the "Connecting to the Router Shelf Console and Auxiliary Ports" section for details on setting up a terminal connection. You should also confirm the LED indications as shown in the "Observing Access Server LEDs" section.

To power on the system, follow these steps:

Step 1 Power ON the circuit breakers for the circuits the Cisco AS5800 will use.

Step 2 If you are using the AC-input power shelf, power ON ( | ) the two power switches located on the AC-input power shelf front panel. (See , or for the enhanced power supply.) Four green power OK LEDS should light.

Figure 4-1 AC-Input Power Shelf—Front View

Figure 4-2 Enhanced AC-Input Power Shelf—Front View

Step 3 Power ON ( | ) the power switches located on each dial shelf PEM front panel. (See .) A green power LED on each PEM should light.

Figure 4-3 PEM Power Switches

Step 4 Power ON ( | ) the two power switches located on the rear of the router shelf. (See .) Both green power supply OK LEDs should light.

Figure 4-4 Router Shelf Power Switches—Rear View

Step 5 Listen for fans in both the router shelf and the dial shelf. You should hear them operating immediately.

During the boot process, the LEDs on most of the port adapters in the router shelf and on the dial shelf cards and dial shelf controller cards light on and off in irregular sequence while the system is running initial self-diagnostic tests. On the router shelf I/O controller, the I/O power OK LED comes on immediately.

For a description of normal dial shelf LED states, proceed to the "Observing Access Server LEDs" section. Normal router shelf startup is discussed in the "Starting the Cisco 7206" section. If everything seems to be normal, complete the startup check with a console connection as described in the "Viewing Your System Configuration" section.

Observing Access Server LEDs

This section describes the normal LED states for the following components:

•Power-entry modules (PEMs)

•Dial shelf controller card

•Blower assembly

•Dial shelf interconnect port adapter

Observing Power-Entry Module LEDs

The PEMs contain two LEDs on the front panel—POWER and MISWIRE. (See .)

•The power LED should light when the system is powered on. The LED indicates that input voltage is present and the PEM circuit breaker is on.

•The miswire LED should remain off, but lights when the two DC conductors entering the PEM terminal block are reversed.

If either of these LEDs functions abnormally, proceed to "."

Starting the Cisco 7206

After installing your Cisco 7206 and connecting the cables, start each router as follows:

Step 1 Check for the following:

•Each port adapter is inserted in its slot and its respective port adapter lever is in the locked position.

•The network processing engine and the I/O controller are inserted in their slots and their captive installation screws are tightened.

•All network interface cables are connected to the port adapters.

•A Flash memory card is installed in its PCMCIA slot.

•Each power cable is connected and secured with the cable-retention clip.

•The console terminal is turned on.

Step 2 At the rear of the router, place the power switch on the power supply in the ON (|) position. Repeat this if a second power supply is installed. The green OK LED on the power supply goes on.

Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating. If not, immediately place the power switch on the power supply in the OFF (0) position and proceed to the "Troubleshooting the Router Installation" section.

Step 4 During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. The LEDs on most of the port adapters go on and off in irregular sequence. Some may go on, go out, and go on again for a short time. On the I/O controller, the IO power OK LED comes on immediately.

Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (in a few seconds), the network processing engine begins to initialize the port adapters and the I/O controller. During this initialization, the LEDs on each port adapter behave differently (most flash on and off). The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the following:

Compiled Mon 01-Dec-99 06:00 by ...
Note If the system does not complete each of the steps in the startup procedure, proceed to the "Troubleshooting the Router Installation" section for troubleshooting recommendations and procedures.

Step 6 When you start up the Cisco 7206 for the first time, the system automatically enters the setup command facility, which determines which port adapters 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. 
Use ctrl-c to abort configuration dialog at any prompt. 
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 exiting from setup and using 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 port adapter LEDs will not go on until you have configured the interfaces. To verify correct operation of each interface, complete the first-time startup procedures and configuration, then refer to the configuration note for each port adapter for LED descriptions and to check the status of the interfaces.

Observing Router Shelf Port Adapter LEDs

The router shelf port adapters contain enabled LEDs, which must be on for the system to be operational. Refer to the Cisco 7206 Installation and Configuration Guide for a description of router shelf port adapter LEDs.

Unique to the Cisco AS5800 is the interconnect port adapter that installs in the router shelf. The dial shelf interconnect contains two LEDs: an enabled LED and a link status LED, shown in . After system initialization, the enabled LED lights to indicate that the dial shelf interconnect has been enabled for operation.

Figure 4-8 Dial Shelf Interconnect Port Adapter Front Panel

The following conditions must be met before the router shelf port adapters and the dial shelf interconnect are enabled:

•The dial shelf interconnect port adapter must be correctly connected to the router shelf midplane and receiving power.

•A valid Cisco IOS software image for the adapter has been downloaded successfully.

•The system recognizes the adapter.

If any of the above conditions are not met, or initialization fails for other reasons, the enabled LED will remain off. Refer to the chapter "," later in this publication, for router shelf LED troubleshooting tips.

Viewing Your System Configuration

When you start up your access server for the first time, the router shelf console displays the Cisco IOS software information that is loaded on your system if you have connected a terminal as described in the "Connecting to the Router Shelf Console and Auxiliary Ports" section. From this startup software banner (see the following example), you can identify the Cisco IOS software release version, other platform images that support system component functionality, and installed internal hardware components.
