After turning on power to the BlackDiamond 6800 switch, each MSM64i performs a
power-on self test (POST) of its circuitry. The LED labeled “SYS” on the MSM64i blinks
amber during the POST. Once the MSM64i is operational, each I/O module performs a
POST.
For more information on the LEDs, refer to Chapter 1 .
