3. If using the slide rail assembly kit supplied with the switch,
Route the the power cord through the power cord clips.
4. Attach the other end of the power cord to a power outlet.
5. Turn on the Power Switch (the 1 position indicates power on, the O position
indicates power off). The switch automatically runs POST.
Caution:
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is
correctly set. For instructions on setting the IP address, see “
Configuring
Network Addressing
,” on page 58.
Power-On Self Test
Each time the switch is powered on, rebooted, or reset, the switch automatically
runs a Power-On Self Test (POST). During POST the port status LEDs flash,
verifying that the switch is operating properly. POST completes in approximately
six minutes, with total boot time approximately seven minutes.
POST runs through the following test cycles:
■
Preliminary POST diagnostics.
■
Initialization of operating system.
■
Initialization of hardware.
■
Diagnostic tests on circuitry, port functionality, memory, parity, statistics
counters, and serialization.
For example, if the switch prompt does not display when POST completes, POST
was unsuccessful. Contact your authorized HP switch supplier for more
information.
To determine whether POST completed without errors, verify that all LEDs return
to a normal state after POST is complete. If one or more LEDs do not return to a
normal state, (and this is not due to the switch being set to beacon), see
“
Interpreting LED Activity
” on page 72 in Chapter 3.
Note:
For more information about beaconing, refer to the
