Powering Up Cisco 3800 Series Routers
This document describes how to power up your Cisco 3800 series integrated services router.
Caution To ensure adequate cooling, electromagnetic interference (EMI) reduction, and safety, never operate the
router unless the cover and all modules and cover plates are installed.
Warning
The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.

• Prerequisites, page 33
• Power-Up Procedure, page 34
Prerequisites
Before you power up the router, make sure you have done the following:
• Securely mounted and grounded the router. See “Installing Cisco 3800 Series Routers in an
Equipment Rack” for instructions.
• Connected power and interface cables. See “Connecting Cables to Cisco 3800 Series Routers.”
• Connected a PC running HyperTerminal or a similar terminal emulation program to the console port,
configured for 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control, and no parity. See the “Connecting
a Console or Modem” section on page 29 of “Connecting Cables to Cisco 3800 Series Routers.”
Note For initial power-up, a direct console connection is recommended. After the initial configuration is
completed, a remote modem connection can be used for router management.
• Chosen passwords for access control.
• Determined IP addresses for Ethernet and serial interfaces.
