start the Cisco SCE8000 platform:
Step 1
Make sure the power cables are connected to the Cisco SCE8000 platform.
Step 2
Plug the AC power supply cables into the AC power source, or make sure the circuit breakers at the DC
panels are turned to the on position. Turn on the switches on both power supplies.
Step 3
Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4
During the boot process, observe the following LEDs on the SCE8000-SCM-E:
•
The Power LEDs should be green.
•
Optical Bypass LED should be green while the Cisco SCE8000 is in bypass and unlit when the
optical bypass is turned off.
•
The Status LED should be a constant amber while booting. After a successful boot, the Status LED
is steady green.
Note
It takes a several minutes for the Cisco SCE8000 to boot and for the status LED to change
from amber to green.
