Powering Up The Router; Verifying A Successful Boot - Cisco 7304 Installation And Configuration Manual

Verifying a Successful Boot

Powering Up the Router

To power up a Cisco 7304 router complete the following steps:
Check for the following:
Step 1
Step 2 Plug the AC power supply cable in to the AC power source. Turn the power switch on. Repeat if a second
power supply is installed.
Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 3
During the boot process, observe the system LEDs.
Step 4
Note If the system detects a corrupted FPGA image, you will be prompted to download a golden FPGA image
from ROM 0. The system will then reset automatically and will restart the boot process. The download
is necessary to continue the boot process.
Step 5 Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (a few seconds), the network
services engine begins to initialize the line cards. During this initialization, the LEDs on each line card
behave differently (most flash on and off). The STATUS LED on each line card goes on when
initialization is completed, and the console screen displays a script and system banner similar to the
following:

This completes the procedures for connecting input power and powering up the router. This also
completes the procedure for installing the network services engine in a Cisco 7304 router.

Verifying a Successful Boot

The router boots at the point when both the NSE and the power supply are properly installed. If the
following steps occur, you have verified that a successful boot process has occurred.
