Booting the Switch

19

Now that you have installed the switch components and 
connected all required cables, you can boot the switch. To boot 
the switch, simply turn the on/off switch for all installed power 
supplies to the on ( | ) position.

Note. If you have more than one power supply installed, 

be sure to turn on each power supply in rapid succession, 

(i.e., within a few seconds of each other). This ensures that 

there will be adequate power for all NI modules when they 

boot.

The boot process takes a few moments to complete. During 
this process, the LEDs on the CMM and NI modules may flash 
and change color, indicating different stages of the boot. 

Following a successful boot, the LEDs on all switch compo-
nents, including power supplies, should display as follows:

If the LEDs do not display as indicated, make sure the boot 
process is completed. Again, the boot process takes several 
moments to complete. If the LEDs do not display as indicated 
following a complete boot sequence, contact Alcatel Customer 
Support.

For descriptions of CMM and NI LED states, see pages 

through 

. For information on power supply LED states, refer 

to the Hardware Users Guide.

Once the switch has completely booted and you have accessed 
your computer’s terminal emulation software via the console 
port, you are ready to log in to the switch’s Command Line 
Interface (CLI) and configure basic information. Continue to
