Booting OmniSwitch 6850E Series Switches

Booting Stacked Configurations

Once the switches have been connected to a virtual chassis, the next step is to manually power on the
stack. 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 stack, plug the power cord (provided) into the power connector socket at the rear panel of each
switch in the stack. Next, plug all power cords, in rapid succession, into easily-accessible power sources,
such as grounded AC outlets or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
Note. Be sure to power on all switches in the stack in rapid succession; otherwise, switches may be
assigned unintended stack management roles. Refer to
Stacks" for detailed information.
The stack immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few moments for all elements in the stack 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.
LED States for a Stacked Configuration

If any of the LED state differs from the states shown in the table above, refer to
mation. Contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support if the LED state persists. For information on logging in
and configuring your OmniSwitch stack, refer to the Getting Started Guide and OmniSwitch Switch
Management Guide.
