5.4.2 Checking Conditions before Powering Up the System
Check for the following conditions before you power up the IDU chassis:
•
Verify that no RF coax cables are connected to the TX and RX ports on the rear of
the chassis.
•
Verify that a DB-9 to RJ-45 adapter connects the COM Port of the PC/laptop to
the Console port of the IDU (typical terminal settings are COM1, 9600 baud, 8
data bits, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow control).
5.4.3 Powering Up the System
After checking the setup as outlined above, power up the IDU as follows:
•
Connect DC output from the power supply to the +24 VDC input of the IDU.
•
Connect the AC cord to the external power supply, and then plug the AC power
cord into the AC outlet.
Upon boot up, the PWR LED illuminates green, and within several seconds the STATUS
LED flashes green as the unit performs a self-diagnostic test. If this test is successful,
the STATUS LED illuminates green. If the test fails, the STATUS LED illuminates red.
After the initial hardware diagnostic, the system takes approximately one minute to
complete the boot up cycle, during which the STATUS LED flashes green. If the
application successfully loads, the STATUS LED illuminates solid green. If the
application cannot start due to configuration or other errors, the STATUS LED
illuminates solid red (see
