plug either AC power cord (shown in Figure 2-1) into an AC power
source.

When the unit is powered on, power-on self tests (POSTs) run to ensure
correct operation of switch logic. These tests reside in flash memory
on the Control Processor (CTP). They verify correct operation of the
CTP, ports, LEDs, and other hardware components.
During POSTs, several tests occur in sequence. As they occur:
1. The green power (PWR) LED on the front panel illuminates.
2. The amber system error (ERR) LED on the front panel blinks
momentarily while the switch is tested.
3. The green LEDs at the top of the Ethernet connector blink while
the port is tested.
4. The green/blue and amber LEDs associated with Fibre Channel
ports blink momentarily while the ports are tested.
After successful POSTs, the green power LED remains illuminated
and all other front panel LEDs go dark. If any of the following occurs,
contact EMC Customer Support:
The amber system error LED remains on.
The green power LED is off.
