Verifying the Front Panel LEDs
Step 1
Switch on the power supply.
Caution
Do not press any keys on the keyboard until the messages stop and the PWR LED is solid green. Any keys
pressed during this time are interpreted as the first command typed when the messages stop, which might cause
the chassis to power off and start over. It takes a few minutes for the messages to stop.
Step 2
Observe the initialization process. When the system boot is complete (the process can take a few minutes), the Cisco
NCS 4201 begins to initialize.
During the boot process, observe the system LEDs. After the chassis has booted, the green STAT LED comes on and
stays on.
Verifying the Front Panel LEDs
The front-panel indicator LEDs provide power, activity, and status information useful during bootup. For
more detailed information about the LEDs, see the
