CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641

Installation

4. Verify that the power LED is on. If not, make sure the outlet is working properly.

If the outlet is working, but the power LED and the fans are not on, see Chapter
10, “Troubleshooting”.

5. When the switch powers on, observe the self-test diagnostic that the unit runs

for approximately 1-2 minutes. The DIAG LED is on for the duration of the test,
turning off when the self-test is complete.

6. At the completion of the diagnostics, the front panel LEDs should be

illuminated according to the status of the unit’s configuration. See the following
sections for a description of the controls and LEDs for the switch.

➽

Note: If the switch fails to power up correctly or if it encounters any unrecoverable
error, the ERR LED will be on or flashing on. If the ERR LED is on or flashes, see
Chapter 10, “Troubleshooting”.

➽

Caution: If you are using the CrossFire 8311 redundant power supply unit, note
that this unit is not hot-swappable. Both the CrossFire 8311 unit and the switch
must be off before connecting or disconnecting the DC power cable.
