Wait for approximately two minutes to let the gateway boot to standby power during the first bootup. You can verify
system power status by looking at the system Power Status LED on the front panel. The system is in standby power mode
when the LED is amber.
Step 2
Connect a USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the gateway using one of the following methods:
• Connect an optional KVM cable (Cisco PID N20-BKVM) to the KVM connector on the front panel. Connect your
USB keyboard and VGA monitor to the KVM cable.
