Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco MDS 9148S Switch
Starting Up the Switch
Note
Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional
jumper power cord to connect the Cisco MDS 9148S switch to your outlet receptacle. See the
“Jumper Power Cord” section on page 1-6
Step 3
Connect the other end of the power cables to an AC power source.
Step 4
Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the
“Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with
Insufficient Front Clearance” section on page 2-21
, and that the power cables are connected to outlets
that have the required AC power voltages (provided in the
“Installing the Switch in a Cabinet with
Insufficient Front Clearance” section on page 2-21
Step 5
Flip the power switches on the power supplies to the on (|) position. The switch boots automatically.
Step 6
Listen for the fans; they should begin operating as soon as the switch is powered on.
Caution
Do not operate the switch without a functioning fan module except for during the brief fan
module replacement procedure. The Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches can operate for only a
few minutes without any functioning fan modules before they begin to overheat.
Step 7
Verify that the LED behavior is as follows when the switch has finished booting:
•
Fan status LED is green.
•
Each power supply LED is green.
•
The Switch status LED is green. If this LED is orange or red, then one or more environmental
monitors is reporting a problem.
•
The Ethernet port Link LEDs should not be on unless the cable is connected.
Note
The LEDs for the Fibre Channel ports remain orange until the ports are enabled, and the LED
for the MGMT 10/100/1000 Ethernet port remains off until the port is connected.
If any LEDs other than the Fibre Channel port LEDs are orange or red after the initial boot processes are
complete, see the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Troubleshooting Guide
.
Step 8
Try removing and reinstalling a component that is not operating properly. If it still does not operate
correctly, contact your customer service representative for a replacement.
Note
If you purchased Cisco support through a Cisco reseller, contact the reseller directly. If you
purchased support directly from Cisco, contact Cisco Technical Support at this URL:

Step 9
Verify that the system software has booted and the switch has initialized without error messages. If any
problems occur, see the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Troubleshooting Guide
or the
Cisco MDS 9000 Family
System Messages Guide
. If you cannot resolve an issue, contact your customer service representative.
