OmniSwitch 6350 Switches
Booting an OmniSwitch
The 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 information, refer to
“OmniSwitch 6350 Chassis and Hardware Components” on page 3-1.
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.
Note. For a few seconds, at the beginning of the boot up process, random characters may briefly display
on the console of an OS6350. This is due to an initial baud rate mismatch. As soon as the bootrom is
initialized, the issue is automatically resolved.
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 “OmniSwitch 6350 LED Status” on page 3-21.
For information on logging in and configuring your switch, refer to Chapter 2, “Getting Started.”
