Connecting Power and Booting the System
Connecting Power and Booting the System
To connect power to your system, follow these steps:
Step 1 Review the information in Safety Guidelines in Chapter 2, “Preparing to Install the WAVE-7541,
WAVE-7571, and WAVE-8541.”
Step 2 Plug a power cord into the power cord receptacle on the back of the WAVE appliance.
Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source at your installation site.
Step 4 Power up all externally connected devices.
Step 5 Press the power control button on the front of the WAVE appliance.
The system should begin booting. Once the operating system boots, you are ready to initialize the basic
software configuration. (See the software configuration guide for details.)
Note While the WAVE appliance is powering up, the green power-on LED on the front of the
appliance is on.
Checking the LEDs
When the WAVE-7541, WAVE-7571, and WAVE-8541 is up and running, observe the front panel LEDs
(see Figure 1-1 and Table 1-1) to verify that your system is operating properly.
To troubleshoot using the LEDs, see Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting the System Hardware.”
Removing or Replacing a WAVE Appliance
To remove a WAVE appliance from your network, power it down, disconnect the power cords and
network cables, and physically remove the chassis from the rack.
The WAVE appliance is in constant communication with the router on your network. When the router
notices that the WAVE appliance is no longer responding to it, the router stops sending requests to the
WAVE appliance. This action is transparent to users. If other WAVE appliances are attached to the router,
the router continues sending requests to the other WAVE appliances.
When you remove a WAVE appliance, the pages that were cached on that appliance are no longer
available to the router or other WAVE appliances. You might see an increase in outgoing web traffic that
might have otherwise been fulfilled by the WAVE appliance that you are removing. However, after a
time, the router and other WAVE appliances redistribute the load of web traffic.
