ERX 8.0.x Hardware Guide
NOTE: In this procedure, we assume that the system is already connected to a
power source. See “Cabling ERX Routers” on page 53.
CAUTION: Evaluate the overall loading of the branch circuit before you install
any equipment into a rack.
To power up the system:
1. Verify that the power source is operational and turned on.
2. Inspect all grounding and power connections to the router chassis.
3. Confirm that all connections are secure.
4. Switch the power switches to ON.
5. Monitor the LEDs on the front of the SRP modules to verify that the system
is booting properly. See Table 12 in “Troubleshooting” on page 103 for LED
status explanations.
When the prompt appears on the system console, the system is in User Exec
mode and is ready to be configured:
host1>
6. Enter the enable command to access Privileged Exec mode:
host1>enable
host1#
In Privileged Exec mode you can begin to configure the system. See JUNOSe
System Basics Configuration Guide, Chapter 2, Command-Line Interface for
more information.
Initialization Sequence
Each line module is initialized independently. As a result, the CLI on the SRP
module can become available before the line modules have completed initialization.
Commands relating to a line module might fail if the module has not completed
initialization. You can use the show version command to display line module
status. Do not enter commands for a line module until its state is listed as online.
