blinks green and the Console LED is off.

POST errors are usually fatal. Call Cisco Customer Support immediately if your blade switch
fails POST.

Wait for the blade switch to complete flash initialization. When you see the prompt

switch is now operating properly.
Step 4
Continue with the
“Completing the Initial Configuration” section on page 2-13
for instructions on
setting up and initially configuring the blade switch.
