13. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device
powers on to confirm that the PWR LED is green.
If not, check that the power cable is correctly
plugged in.
The BES50 series switch performs a short self-test
as soon as you connect the switch to the power
supply. The status LED will flash green during the
self-test, then solid green when finished. If the
Status LED turns off, the device is not working
correctly. When the self-test finishes, the BES50
starts switching data.
