Powering Up the Router
Complete the steps in Wiring the DC Inputs on page 91 and Installing the Components on
page 95 before proceeding with the following instructions. Then power up the system and
verify the LED activity of all components.
The primary copy of the 7705 SAR-8 TiMOS software is located on the compact flash
memory device that is factory-installed on the CSM.
Power-Up and Initialization
To power up the router, follow these steps:
Step 1. Turn on the power to the router at the remote DC power source(s) to initiate the boot
process.
The Power LEDs on the CSM and adapter cards should be blue, and the Batt A, Batt
B, and Fan LEDs on the Fan module should be green. If only one DC power source
is used, only one Batt LED should be lit.
Step 2. Verify that the system is initializing.
The system searches the compact flash device on the CSM (cf3) for the boot.ldr
file (also known as the bootstrap or boot loader file). The Status and Activity LEDs
on the CSM blink green during initialization. After initialization (approximately
30 seconds), the Status LED and the Activity LED on the active CSM turn solid
green; the Activity LED on the inactive CSM continues to blink green.
If the LEDS do not operate as described above, or if they blink and turn off, refer to
Troubleshooting Initial Startup.
Warning: For proper thermal operation, ensure that filler plates are installed on all empty
slots before powering up the router.
Notes:
• The DC-powered 7705 SAR-8 does not have a power switch or circuit breaker. The
system is powered on by applying power from the DC power source. Typically, this is
done via a circuit breaker or a disconnect device.
• Configurations and executable software can be stored on the compact flash memory
device or at an FTP file location.
• You must have a console or Telnet connection to communicate with and provision the
7705 SAR-8. See
Establishing Router Management Connections.
