Cisco 7000 Series Startup
Cisco 7000 Series Startup
When you start up a Cisco 7000 series router, the following should occur:
• The DC OK LED should go on and should remain on as long as the system is receiving source
power.
• The fans should be operating.
• The Route Processor (RP) Normal LED should go on and stay on to indicate normal system
operation; the Halt CPU LED should remain off.
• The Enabled LED on the Switch Processor (SP) or Silicon Switch Processor (SSP) and each
interface processor should go on when the RP has completed initialization of the interface
processor or SP (or SSP) for operation.
When the system has initialized successfully, the system banner should be displayed on the console
screen. If it is not displayed, make sure that the console terminal is properly connected to the RP
console port and that the terminal is set correctly. The system banner should look similar to the
following:

If problems occur, try to isolate the problem to a specific subsystem. The Cisco 7000 series routers
have the following subsystems:
• Power subsystem—Includes power supplies, fans, external power cable, and internal power
harness that connects to the backplane
• Cooling subsystem—Depending on your system, the cooling subsystem includes the following:
— Cisco 7000: Chassis blower
— Cisco 7010: Fan tray assembly, including six individual fans, the fan control board, and the
tray itself
• Processor subsystem—Includes the RP, SP (or SSP), and all interface processors
Table 3-2 outlines the areas where Cisco 7000 series startup problems may occur and describes
solutions to those problems.
