Plug In and Power Up the Appliance

Plug in the appliance, then power up the appliance by pressing the On/Off 
switch on the front panel of the Cisco M190. You must wait 10 minutes for the 
system to initialize each time you power up the system. 

After the machine powers up, solid green lights on the front of the appliance 
indicate that the appliance is operational. The network activity light will be 
green but may not be solid. 

Caution

If turned on quickly after connecting power to the appliance, the 
appliance powers up, the fans spin and the LEDs turn on. Within 
30-60 seconds, the fans stop and all LEDs turn off. The appliance 
powers on 31 seconds later. This behavior is by design to allow the 
system firmware and controller to synchronize. 

Wait at least 10 minutes for the system to complete the power up 
sequence and the LEDs to turn green. If you turn the power off 
before the initialization is complete, the appliance will NOT reach 
an operational state and must be returned to Cisco.
