Booting OmniSwitch 6850E Series Switches

For information on booting stand-alone switches and switches in stacked configurations, refer to the
sections below.
Booting a Stand-Alone Switch
The OmniSwitch switch does not use an on/off switch. The power cord is the switch's only connect/
disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the switch's rear panel. For more informa-
tion, refer to "Rear Panel" on page
To boot the switch, plug the power cord (provided) into the power connector socket at the switch's rear
panel. Next, plug the power cord into an easily-accessible power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
The switch immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few moments for the switch to boot completely,
then verify the status of all LEDs on the switch's front panel. A successful boot for a stand-alone switch
displays the following LED states:

If any of the LED state differs from the states shown in the table above, refer to
