Power-Up Procedure

Perform this procedure to power up your Cisco MC3810 and verify that it goes through its initialization and

self-test. When this is ﬁnished, the Cisco MC3810 will be ready to conﬁgure.

Step 1 Power up your terminal or PC, and conﬁgure it for 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity.

Step 2 Move the Cisco MC3810 power switch to the ON position.

The green LED next to the auxiliary port should go on and the fan should operate. If this does not

happen, see the power-up procedure in the Cisco MC3810 Series Multiservice Access Concentrators

Hardware Installation Guide.

The following message is displayed at the end of the boot-up messages.
