Verifying the Installation Using the Self-Test Screen
If a monitor is connected to the switch (see "Console/Comm Port" on page 2-10),
you can observe the BayStack 450 switch Self-Test screen (Figure 2-11 shows an
example of a standalone switch Self-Test screen).
The results of the self-test are displayed briefly (5 or 10 seconds) on the Self-Test
screen, which is followed by the Nortel Networks Logo screen (Figure 2-12).
Note: The Self-Test screen remains displayed only if the self-test detects a
fatal error.
