Initializing and Provisioning
7705 SAR-M Chassis Installation Guide 133
Step 2. Verify that the system is initializing.
The system searches the compact flash device for the boot.ldr file (also known
as the bootstrap or boot loader file). The Status LED blinks green and the Activity
LEDs blink amber during initialization. After initialization (approximately 30 s),
the Status and Activity LEDs turn solid green and amber, respectively.
If the LEDs do not operate as described above, or if they blink and turn off, refer to
Troubleshooting Initial Startup.
Step 3. Verify the operational status of the ports by checking the LEDs on the front of the
router. Refer to 7705 SAR-M Connectors and LEDs (Variants with Module Slot,
Actively Cooled).
Step 4. After verifying the LEDs, establish communication with the router via the Console
port. Refer to Console Connection.
Step 5. (Optional at this time) Assign an IP address to the router. Refer to Telnet
Connection for quick reference information and to “Initial System Startup Process
Overview” in the 7705 SAR OS Basic System Configuration Guide for detailed
information.
Step 6. (Optional at this time) Configure or modify the primary, secondary, or tertiary BOF
file locations. Refer to Telnet Connection for quick reference information and to
“Initial System Startup Process Overview” in the 7705 SAR OS Basic System
Configuration Guide for detailed information.
Step 7. (Optional at this time) Run automatic discovery protocol (ADP).
ADP is a factory-installed boot option that automates the initial commissioning of
7705 SAR-M nodes. ADP runs automatically the first time the system is powered
up. The Status LED blinks green and amber while ADP is running. You can
terminate ADP while it is running by pressing the ACO/LT button or via the CLI.
See Automatic Discovery Protocol for more information.
Note: Fans are software-controlled and may not immediately turn on when power is first
applied to the system. The system must reach a threshold operating temperature before the
fans will start.
