Operating the Switch
After successful POSTs, the green power LED remains illuminated 
and all other front panel LEDs go dark. If any of the following occurs, 
contact EMC Customer Support:
◆ The amber system error LED remains on.
◆ The green power LED is off.
◆ The LED for either power supply on the rear of the unit is off (and 
the power cord on that power supply is plugged into a working 
AC power source).
◆ An amber LED illuminates on a fan module on the rear of the 
unit.
Powering the Switch
Off
You do not need to switch the power off to remove FRUs or to 
connect fiber optic cables to and from ports. However, you must 
switch off the power to relocate the switch.
When power cycling (powering the unit off and on), wait 30 seconds after 
switching the unit off before switching it on again.
Powering the switch off and on (power cycle) resets all hardware 
components and interrupts port operation. When switching the power on, all 
logic is reset.
To switch the power off, use the following procedures:
CAUTION
!
Warn administrators and users currently operating devices that are 
attached to the switch that it is going off line and that 
communications will be disrupted. Also, request that the devices 
affected by an interruption of data flow be set off line.
1. Set the switch off line using the Set Online State option from the 
Product Manager (refer to the above warning before setting the 
switch off line).
2. Press the two power switches on the rear the switch down to the 
0 (power off) position.
3. Disconnect the power cord for each power supply from its AC 
source.
