It takes about one and a half minutes for the switch to initialize its
management software programs and features, and load the default
configuration. You may monitor the progress of the initialization process
by watching the switch ID LED. It displays the number "8" for the first
minute and afterwards the number "0."
You may also monitor the bootup sequence by connecting a terminal or
computer that has a terminal emulator program to the Console port on the
master switch. The messages are given in Figure 48 here to Figure 50 on
page 80. The messages may differ slightly depending on whether your
switch is a PoE or non-PoE model.
After the switch has initialized its management software, go to
"Configuring the Switch for Stand-alone Operations" on page 81.
