the small hole labeled
R
on the front panel. Refer to Figure 14 for the exact location.

When the LX-4000 Series enters the RESET state, all front panel LEDs illuminate. When you release
the reset button, the unit begins to execute the Power On Self Test (POST).
If the LX-4000 Series detects an error, the front panel LEDs illuminate to show an error code. This
error sequence is repeated continually until the error is corrected or you power off the unit. During
this time, no data is exchanged over the Ethernet cable or serial ports.
If the LX-4000 Series does not detect an error, the unit begins loading software from the internal
flash. Once loaded, the LX-4000 Series resumes normal operations.
IMPORTANT
Take steps to ensure that the password is not lost or forgotten. If you forget
the password, call Customer Support.
