Step 2 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.
Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4 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.
Step 5 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).
The enabled LED on each port adapter goes on when initialization is completed, and the console screen
displays a script and system banner similar to the following:
