Booting A Standalone Switch
The OmniSwitch 6400 Series switch does not use an on/off
switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/discon-
nect device. The power connector socket is located on the
switch’s back panel or external power supply. For more infor-
mation, refer to the OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users
Guide.
To boot the switch, plug the power cord (provided) into the
power connector socket or external power supply 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 displays the following LED states:
If any of the LED states differ from the states shown in the
table, refer to the OmniSwitch 6400 Series Hardware Users
Guide for more information. Contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer
Support if the unexpected LED state persists.
