Verifying Switch Operation

As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. LEDs blink during the test, which lasts approximately 1 minute. When the
switch begins POST, the System, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED blinks
green, and the other LEDs remain green.
When the POST completes successfully, the System LED turns green. The other LEDs turn off and then
reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the System LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, unplug the power cord from the switch. Mount the switch in a rack on a desk
or shelf, under a desk or shelf, or on a wall, as described in the
page
