Appendix B Troubleshooting Initial Startup Problems
Possible Solution
There is a power fault in the chassis.
Note that the The system status LEDs are
located on the Cisco ASR 1000 RP1 front
panel. The LEDs stay amber during the
entire IOS boot process and then turn
green when IOS has completely booted.
Turn the router power switch to the
standby position (|) and reseat the AC
power cable at the system or at the wall
outlet (power source).
Turn the router power switch to the
standby position (|) and locate the circuit
breaker on the panel board that services
the DC circuit; switch the circuit breaker
to the on position.
Turn the router power switch to the
standby position (|) and remove and
reinsert the power supply cable.
Check that all ground cables are properly
seated in the terminal block on the DC
power supply.
Turn the power source switch off, connect
the power cable to another power source,
if available, and turn the router power
switch back on.
Turn the router power switch to the
standby position (|), (for DC power, also
turn the circuit breaker to the Off position
and tape it to that position), remove the
cable and replace it.
If the system still fails to come up when
the power supply is connected to a
different power source with a new power
cable, the power supply is probably
faulty. Contact a service representative.
