POST activity

Once installed, the high speed switch module is managed by the blade server chassis
Management Module. For specific information about managing the high speed switch module,
refer to the blade server chassis manufacturer's documentation.
The Power-on Self Test (POST) system check is performed each time the switch module is powered
on, rebooted, or reset. During the POST, the LEDs are activated in various indicator patterns.
To determine whether POST completed successfully, or whether any errors were detected:
