Booting the Switch
Now that you have installed the switch components and connected network and management cables, you can
boot the switch. To boot the switch, plug the power supply cord into an easily-accessible, properly grounded
power outlet. (Do not use extension cords.) The switch will power on and boot automatically.
Component LEDs
During the boot process, component LEDs will flash and change color, indicating different stages of the boot.
Following a successful boot, chassis LEDs should display as follows:
Note. If the LEDs do not display as indicated, make sure the boot process is complete. If the LEDs do not
display as indicated following a complete boot sequence, contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support. For
information on LED states, refer to “Chassis Status LEDs” on page 3-19.
Once the switch has completely booted and you have accessed your computer’s terminal emulation software
via the console port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line Interface (CLI) and configure basic
information. Continue to “Your First Login Session” on page 2-6.
