Performing Complex Configurations
After you have installed your SCE 2000 platform hardware, checked all external connections, turned on
the system power, allowed the system to boot up, and performed the initial system configuration, you
might need to perform more complex configurations, which are beyond the scope of this publication.
For further information on system and interface configuration, refer to the following documents:
Cisco SCE2000 and SCE1000 Software Configuration Guide
Cisco SCE2000 and SCE1000 CLI Command Reference
Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions
After installing your SCE 2000 platform
and connecting cables, complete the following steps to start the
SCE 2000 platform:
Step 1
Make sure the power cables are connected to the
S
SCE 2000 platform.
Step 2
Plug the AC power supply cables into the AC power source, or make sure the circuit breakers at the DC
panels are turned to the on position. Turn both power switches on.
Step 3
Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4
During the boot process, observe the following LEDs:
•
Both Power LEDs should be green.
•
Bypass LED should be green while the SCE 2000 platform
is on bypass and unlit when the bypass
is turned off.
•
The Status LED should be a constant orange while booting. After a successful boot, the Status LED
is flashing green.
Note
It takes a several minutes for the SCE 2000 platform
to boot and for the status LED to change from
orange to flashing orange or flashing green.
