Booting the Switch

To boot the switch, perform the following:
1. Ensure that the device console is connected to a VT100 terminal device or
VT100 terminal emulator.
2. Deactivate the AC power receptacle.
3. Connect the device to the AC receptacle.
4. Activate the AC power receptacle.
When the power is turned on with the local terminal already connected, the switch
goes through Power On Self Test (POST). POST runs every time the device is
initialized and checks hardware components to determine if the device is fully
operational before completely booting. If a critical problem is detected, the program
flow stops. If POST passes successfully, a valid executable image is loaded into
RAM. POST messages are displayed on the terminal and indicate test success or
failure.
As the switch boots, the bootup test first counts the device memory availability and
then continues to boot. The following screen is an example of the displayed POST.
