For information on booting stand-alone switches and switches in stacked configurations, refer to the
sections below.
Booting an OmniSwitch 6250
The OmniSwitch 6250 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 power supply rear panel. For more infor-
mation, refer to “OmniSwitch 6250 Chassis and Hardware Components” on page 3-1.
To boot the switch, 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 displays the following
LED states:
If any of the LED state differs from the states shown in the table above, refer to page 3-7 for more infor-
mation. Contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support if the LED state persists.
For information on logging in and configuring your OmniSwitch 6250 switch, refer to the OmniSwitch
Getting Started Guide.
