9 Powering Up This chapter provides instructions for powering up your E600i system once you have installed all the chassis components and made your power and network connections. It covers the following topics: • Preparation • Supplying Power • Booting to the CLI Prompt Preparation NOTE: Make sure that the switch on the remote power source is in the OFF position until you are ready to supply power to the chassis. Before you supply power to your chassis, Dell Force10 recommends that you re-inspect your equipment rack and chassis. Verify that: • The equipment rack is properly secured and grounded. • The chassis is bolted and secured into your equipment rack. • Each power supply module (AC or DC) is properly installed and grounded. • Each power supply module's switch is in the OFF position. • The safety covers are installed on each DC PEM. • Power cables connect to a compliant remote power source. • The fan tray is installed and cannot be removed by pulling on the fan tray handles. • All line cards, RPMs, and SFMs are properly installed and secured. • All chassis slots are filled. Blank panels and covers are installed in all empty slots. Supplying Power To supply power to the E600i system: Step Task 1 Energize the remote power source. 2 Flip the switch on the AC power supplies or DC PEM to the ON position. 3 In a DC PEM, the Status LED should be green. In an AC Power Supply, the top Input AC and Output DC LEDs should be green. If these LEDs are not lit or the Status LED is amber on a DC PEM, check that the unit is properly installed. Verify the power source. If the LEDs remain unlit, power off all modules and replace the unit. Powering Up | 41
