Understanding POST Results
As the blade switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that

misconfiguration or error, the System Status/ID LED blinks green, and the Console LED is off.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your blade switch does not pass POST.
