Powering on and off

Cisco MDS 9124e Switch power is provided by the enclosure. The switch will run the Power-On Self 

test (POST), a series of diagnostic tests run by a switch after it is powered on, by default each time 

power to the enclosure is turned on. The POST process can last as long as three minutes.
To remove power from the switch, remove it from the enclosure interconnect bay.

NOTE:

Each time the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch is powered on, its settings are restored to the 

startup configuration.
