Powering On the Cisco AS5850 and Observing Initial Startup Conditions


This chapter explains how to power on the Cisco AS5850 and confirm normal system startup LED readings, and then confirm that the proper software is running.

Powering On the Cisco AS5850

After you have installed your universal gateway and connected the cables, you are ready to start up the system by powering on the following components:

Cisco AS5850

AC-input power shelf, if applicable

Before you power on the Cisco AS5850, you might want to prepare a terminal connection to view the software startup sequence. See the "Connecting to the RSC Console and Auxiliary Ports" section for details on setting up a terminal connection. You should also confirm the LED indications as shown in the "Observing Universal Gateway LEDs" section.

To power on the system, follow these steps:


Step 1 Power on the circuit breakers for the circuits the Cisco AS5850 will use.

Step 2 If you are using the 2400W AC-input power shelf, the power modules should immediately start when they are plugged in to an AC source. The green DC OK and AC OK LEDS on all three power modules in the power shelf should come on (see Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1 AC-Input Power Shelf—Front View

Step 3 Turn the power switches located on each PEMF front panel to the ON ( | ) position. (See Figure 4-2.) A green POWER LED on each PEMF should come on.

Figure 4-2 PEMF Power Switches

Step 4 Listen for fans in the universal gateway cooling module. You should hear them operating immediately.

During the boot process, the LEDs on most of the port adapters in the universal gateway cards and route switch controller cards come on and go off in irregular sequence while the system is running initial self-diagnostic tests. On the RSC, the PWR LED comes on immediately.


For a description of normal server LED states, proceed to the following section "Observing Universal Gateway LEDs."

Observing Universal Gateway LEDs

This section describes the normal LED states for the following components:

Power-entry modules (PEMFs)

Route switch controller card

Cooling module

Nominal LED Readings

Table 4-1 provides a quick reference for nominal LED readings for Cisco AS5850 core components. If LED readings vary from those listed, refer to the relevant sections for more details. If everything seems to be normal, complete the startup check with a console connection as described in the "Viewing Your System Configuration" section.

Observing Power-Entry Module LEDs

The PEMFs contain the following LEDs on the front panel—POWER and MISWIRE.

POWER LED should come on when the system is powered on. The LED indicates that input voltage is present and that the PEMF circuit breaker is on.

MISWIRE LED should remain off, but comes on when the two DC conductors entering the PEMF terminal block are reversed.

If either of these LEDs functions abnormally, proceed to Chapter 5, "Hardware Troubleshooting."

Figure 4-3 shows the location of the PEMF LEDs.

Figure 4-3 PEMF Front Panel LEDs

Observing Route Switch Controller Card LEDs

The route switch controller card front panel contains several LEDs. Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-5 show the route switch controller card front panel LEDs, and Table 4-3 describes the LED functions.

If the route switch controller card LEDs function abnormally, proceed to Chapter 5, "Hardware Troubleshooting."

Figure 4-4 RSC Front Panel LEDs

Figure 4-5 ERSC Front Panel LEDs


Note MODE and SEL are not LEDs. They are push buttons used to manually configure certain parameters.

LED Indicator
Display
Description
Power and Warning LEDs
   

PWR (route switch controller power)

Green

Comes on when power is on and the RSC is not in the reset state.

HIST (history clear)

Yellow

Comes on when software recognizes a major or minor alarm situation. The LED will stay on until cleared.

MAINT

Yellow

Flashing indicates that diagnostics are currently running. On indicates that the RSC failed diagnostics or was shut down for removal. This LED is normally off.

ALARM

Yellow

Comes on to indicate a major1 or minor2 alarm condition.

Clock and Status LEDs
   

MAST (master)

Green

RSC is in handover-split mode.

CLK (clock)

Green

Comes on to identify the route switch controller card active clock; active clock is independent from master route switch controller card designation.

FLASH

Green

Comes on when compact Flash slot is in use.

LINK

Green

Indicates valid Ethernet link has been established.

ACT

Green

Indicates traffic activity on the Ethernet.

Liquid Crystal Displays
   

LCDs (upper and lower)

Alphanumeric; 4 characters each

Displays SPLT if in classic-split mode and HSPL if in handover-split mode.

1 A major alarm condition includes RSC failure, backplane failure, fan failure, power module failure, server card failure, or conditional environmental thresholds.

2 A minor alarm condition includes modem SIMM failure, HDLC controller failure, trunk line failure, or conditional environmental thresholds.


Cooling Module LEDs

Four LEDs—Power and Fault for fan banks 1 through 3—are mounted on the cooling module front panel, and function as described in Table 4-4.

Table 4-4 Cooling Module Front Panel LEDs

LED
Color
Description

POWER

Green

Indicates that all three fan banks are operating normally. If the power LED is off, either the cooling module is not powered on or a fault has been detected in the cooling module.

FAULT

BANK 1 to BANK 3

Yellow

Remains off during normal operation. If the fault LED is on, one or more fans in the specified bank has failed. This failure could be a complete shutdown of one or more fans, or the cooling module control card has detected that the speed of one or more fans has exceeded tolerance levels.


If you detect a problem with the cooling module LEDs, proceed to Chapter 5, "Hardware Troubleshooting."

Viewing Your System Configuration

When you start up your universal gateway for the first time, the console displays the Cisco IOS software information that is loaded on your system, if you have connected a terminal as described in the "Connecting to the RSC Console and Auxiliary Ports" section. From this startup software banner (see the following example), you can identify the Cisco IOS software release version, other platform images that support system component functionality, and installed internal hardware components.

Where to Go Next

Your universal gateway is now installed, and all components are operative. When you power on the universal gateway for the first time, messages appear on your console screen. When the initialization process is complete, the console screen displays a script and system banner. At this point, you can begin to configure the software.
