Operating the Switch
Power Procedures
Power the Switch On
There are two AC power switches in the rear of the switch. Each 
power switch is to the right of each AC power connector. (Refer to 
Figure 2-1 on page 2-2.) Switch power on to the switch by pushing 
each AC power switch up to the on position (1). When switching 
power on, push the switch firmly to engage it. If the switch does not 
engage properly because it was not pushed firmly enough, wait 30 
seconds before attempting to switch power on again. Switch power 
off by pushing the power switch in the opposite direction (0). 
When pushing the switch off to cycle power, wait 30 seconds before pushing 
the switch on again.

Power-On Self-Tests When the power is switched on, power-on self tests (POSTs) run to 
ensure correct operation of switch logic. These tests reside in flash 
memory on the Control Processor (CTP). They verify correct 
operation of the CTP, ports, LEDs, and other hardware components. 
During POSTs, several tests occur in sequence. As they occur:
1. The green power (PWR) LED on the front panel illuminates.
2. The amber system error (ERR) LED on the front panel blinks 
momentarily while the switch is tested.
3. The green LEDs at the top of the Ethernet connector blink while 
the port is tested.
