Powering Up Cisco 1805 Cable Router

Warning

Caution To ensure adequate cooling, never operate the router unless the unit is completely closed.

OL-14661-01

The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main disconnecting device.

Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place.

Powering Up Cisco 1805 Cable Router

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.

• 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, a direct console connection is recommended. 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.

Chapter 6 Power-Up Procedures for Cisco 1805 DOCSIS Cable Routers

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.

Power-Up Procedure

To power up your Cisco router and verify that it completes its initialization and self-test, follow this procedure. When you have completed the procedure you may begin configuring the router.

Note To view the boot sequence through a terminal session, you must have a console connection to the Cisco

router before the router powers up.

Step 1 Make sure that your PC is powered up and connected as described in the “Checklist for Power Up”

section on page 6-2.

Step 2 Move the power switch to the ON position.

The following indications appear:

• The green SYS PWR LED on the front of the chassis comes on.

• The fan operates.

The LEDs on the chassis light up. Some LEDs may go off again. The actual LED activity depends on your installation.

Startup messages appear in your terminal emulation program window.
