Cisco 3845 Quick Start Guide - Page 26

Power-Up Procedure To power up your Cisco router and verify that it goes through its initialization and self-test, perform this procedure. When the procedure is finished, the Cisco router is ready to configure. Note To view the boot sequence, you must have a console connection to the Cisco router before it powers up. Step 1 Step 2 Make sure that your PC is powered up and connected as described in the "Checklist for Power Up" section on page 25. Move the power switch to the ON position on the router. The SYS LED blinks green on both the Cisco 3825 and Cisco 3845 routers. During the boot process, the SYS PWR LED on the Cisco 3825 chassis is steady green, and the SYS PWR1 LED or SYS PWR2 LED on the Cisco 3845 chassis are off. If this does not happen, see the "Troubleshooting" document in the online Cisco 3800 series hardware installation documentation at the following URL: http://cisco.com/en/US/products/ps5855/tsd_products_support_troubleshoot_and_alerts.html Startup messages appear in your terminal emulation program window. After Cisco IOS software has finished booting, the SYS LED for both routers is steady green, and the SYS PWR1 LED or SYS PWR2 LED on the Cisco 3845 chassis is steady green. Caution Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop and the SYS LED is steady 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.
