Booting OmniSwitch 6850E Series Switches
For information on booting stand-alone switches and switches in stacked configurations, refer to the
sections below.
Booting a Stand-Alone Switch
The OmniSwitch switch does not use an on/off switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/
disconnect device. The power connector socket is located on the switch’s rear panel. For more informa-
tion, refer to
“Rear Panel” on page 2-55
.
To boot the switch, plug the power cord (provided) into the power connector socket at the switch’s rear
panel. Next, plug the power cord into an easily-accessible power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
The switch immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few moments for the switch to boot completely,
then verify the status of all LEDs on the switch’s front panel. A successful boot for a stand-alone switch
displays the following LED states:
If any of the LED state differs from the states shown in the table above, refer to
page 2-53
for more infor-
mation. Contact Alcatel-Lucent Customer Support if the LED state persists.
For information on logging in and configuring your OmniSwitch, refer to the
Getting Started Guide
