Booting XM Images on Non-XM 2600

I have never tried replacing fans, but I have a pair of 1841 and they run pretty quite, and can pretty much do anything. They are a little on the expensive side though. I would suggest investing in a cheap http capable PDU, that way you can just turn everything on and off from a website when you arnt using it. Saves Power/Heat/Noise.

Kajitora,

I know you and I have discussed in the past about the http capable PDU, and I am still thinking about getting one. But what about the health of the equipment? I was under the impression that Cisco gear wasn't made to be turned on/off, that it was primarily made to stay on 24/7 @ 365 a year. I could be wrong, but this is the impression I was under.

Granted, if turning the equipment on/off doesn't hurt this is the best all around solution being that it saves power and heat.


Cheers,

Hi guys,

today I got a 2811 Router for free. I jumped into the air but at home I find out that the router didn't start up. The router boots only in rommon mode. I checked the campact flash with my card reader, but windows does nothing . Furthermore I type in rommon mode dev flash: and I get an error like " flash disk can't read " . A few minutes ago I came back from the it store where I bought a 256 card. Now I want to download a new IOS but I can't. I have registered at cisco.com but I haven't access to the download area. All IOS Versions are locked.

Please help

best regards

The configuration register could be wrongly set to bypass the IOS. Try this, In rommon mode, type: confreg 0x2102

This will reset the configuration register to it's default value (0x2102).

rommon 1 > confreg 0x2102


You must reset or power cycle for new config to take effect
rommon 2 > reset

Looks like your flash needs to be formatted/erased. tftpdnld command in rommon would automatically erase the flash for you. But obviously you need to get your hands at an IOS file first.
