Booting the
Communications Server
Once you have completed all cable connections and copied the software
distribution diskette, you are ready to boot your communications server:
1 Insert the working diskette in the drive, label side up.
2 If the server is off, turn it on by pressing the I side of the power switch
located on the back panel. If it is on, press the reset switch.
All LEDs on the front panel light briefly when the server is turned on or
reset. The Power and Self Test LEDs should remain on after the others
turn off. If they do not, turn off the server by pressing the O side of the
power switch. Verify that the power cord is connected properly to a
working outlet, then turn on the server again.
The Self Test LED remains on during self-test diagnostics, about 40
seconds. The server then enters the boot phase. The Boot State LED
remains on during boot, which takes several minutes. The server then
reads software configuration information, such as parameter tables,
routing tables, and directory of logical names, from the diskette. This
process takes about 20 seconds.
CAUTION: 3Com suggests that you leave a working copy of the diskette
in the drive. If the power fails, the communications server must have a
diskette in the drive to restart automatically and to record any
parameter changes.
