Chapter 1 Booting, Logging In, and Getting Started
Booting the CSS on a Routine Basis
Note
OL-6037-01
When you power up a CSS, the boot process:
• Displays the software version and build number
Performs hardware initialization and power-on self tests
•
Provides access to the Offline DM menu
•
Prompts you to log in to the CSS
•
The duration of the boot process depends on the CSS startup configuration and,
with the CSS 11503 and CSS 11506, the number of modules in the chassis.
When you boot the CSS, it initializes the hardware and performs power-on self
tests. The CSS displays the following messages (shown for the CSS 11503 and
CSS 11506):
Locked boot flash.
Validating operational boot flash, please wait...

After the CSS begins to boot (approximately 15 seconds) the CSS allows you to
access the Offline DM menu. The Offline DM Main menu allows you to set the
boot configuration, display the boot configuration, select Advanced Options, or
reboot the system. Refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration
Guide for detailed information on using Offline DM.
