The LEDs flashes and then the OK LED turns on (green) in addition to the Input LEDs.
What to do next
You are ready to connect the switch to the network.
Migrating the Switch from Using 40-Gigabit Line Cards to Using
100-Gigabit -EX/-FX Line Cards
You can migrate the switch to using 100-Gigabit -EX/-FX line cards, such as the N9K-X9732C-EX line card,
by replacing the older 40-Gigabit line cards with 100-Gigabit -EX line cards and replacing the older 40-Gigabit
N9K-C9504-FM fabric modules with four 100-Gigabit N9K-C9504-FM-E fabric modules.
Before you begin
Ensure that the switch is running NX-OS software for release 7(3)i4(2) or later.
Note
Step 1 Save the current switch configuration to the bootflash by using the copy running-config command.
switch$ copy running-config bootflash:backup-config
Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)...

The terminal box has four slots for four power terminals (ordered as negative [-], positive [+], positive
[+], and negative [-]). Each terminal has two nuts that you use to fasten a power cable to the terminal.
When upgrading line cards and their fabric modules, upgrade the Cisco NX-OS software before inserting
the line cards and fabric modules. Failure to do so can cause a diagnostic failure on the line card. Please
see the release notes for details.
