Booting The Switch; Component Leds - Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6900 Hardware User's Manual

Getting Started

Booting the Switch

Now that you have installed the switch components and connected network and management cables, you
can boot the switch. To boot the switch, plug all power supply cords into easily-accessible, properly
grounded power outlets. (Do not use extension cords.) The switch will power on and boot automatically.
Note. If you have more than one power supply installed, be sure to plug in each power supply in rapid
succession, (i.e., within a few seconds of each other). This ensures that there will be adequate power for
all components throughout the boot process.

Component LEDs

During the boot process, component LEDs will flash and change color, indicating different stages of the
boot. For detailed information, including correct post-boot LED states, refer to
page 3-19.
Once the switch has completely booted and you have accessed your computer's terminal emulation soft-
ware via the console port, you are ready to log in to the switch's Command Line Interface (CLI) and
configure basic information. Continue to
