captive installation screws are tightened.
•
All network interface cables are connected to the port adapters.
•
A Flash Disk or Flash memory card is installed in its PCMCIA slot.

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

4-2 Cisco 7200 VXR Installation and Configuration Guide
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 turns on.
Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
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.
Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (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).
