    When you turn on the switch power supplies, the switch begins its automatic boot process. The default boot order is to try to boot the switch first from the PCMCIA card, then from the internal flash memory, and finally over the network. If a terminal is connected to the Console port, you can watch the system messages that record the boot sequence.

    Failure of Management Software to Recognize I/O Modules If management software does not recognize the presence of any I/O modules in the switch, the device view in Device Manager, for example, shows a switch with only a management module installed. This situation can occur when no I/O module is installed in slot 1 or slot 2 of the chassis.
