POST and boot specifications

When the switch is powered on or rebooted, it performs POST. Total boot time with POST can be
several minutes. POST can be omitted after subsequent reboots by using the fastboot command
or entering the diagDisablePost command to persistently disable POST. For more information
about these commands, see the Fabric OS 7.0.x Command Reference Manual.

POST

You can monitor the results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST through LED activity, the
error log, or the CLI. POST includes the following tasks:
Conducting preliminary POST diagnostics
Initializing the operating system
Initializing hardware
Running diagnostic tests on several functions, including circuitry, port functionality, memory,
statistics counters, and serialization
To determine whether POST completed successfully:
1. Inspect the switch LEDs to determine whether components are operating properly.
See Table 5 (page 36)
LEDs do not display a healthy state, verify that the LEDs are not set to beacon by entering the
switchshow command to detect if beaconing is active.
