Powering Up the Cisco ASR 903 Router

Powering Up the Cisco ASR 903 Router
Make certain that all card slots and compartments are closed off. Install blank faceplates on any empty slots.
Always have power supply slots filled. If you leave a power supply slot uncovered, then you risk exposure
to hazardous voltages on the power pins on the midplane.
Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages
and currents inside the router; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other
equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the router. Do not operate the system unless all
cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029
After installing your Cisco ASR 903 Router and connecting cables, start the router and follow these steps:
Step 1 Activate the DC power supply using the steps described in
Caution Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop and the SYS PWR LED is solid green. Any
keys pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might
cause the router to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.
Step 2 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process takes a few seconds), the Cisco ASR
903 Router RSP begins to initialize.
Note This is only an example of what can display. The system boots differently depending upon the configuration
that ships with your system.
