LCD Panel Modes
The LCD panel operates in four modes: boot, idle, status, and maintenance.
The LCD panel operates in boot mode during switch reboot. The boot mode displays the
key milestones in the switch boot process. The boot mode does not have any menu
options. After the boot process is complete, the LCD panel automatically reverts to the
Idle menu.
