The strength of the signal is determined by the type of transceiver in use. The ports meet all required safety standards. The ports are capable of operating at 1, 2, 4, or 8Gbps and are able to autonegotiate to the maximum link speed. POST and boot specifications The switch performs POST by default each time it is powered on or rebooted or the system is reset. Boot time with POST is usually about 1 to 3 minutes. POST can be skipped after subsequent reboots by entering the fastBoot command. For more information about this command, see theFabric OS command reference manual. POST The success/fail results of the diagnostic tests that run during POST can be monitored through LED activity, the error log, or the CLI. nl POST: • Conducts preliminary POST diagnostics. • Initializes the operating system. • Initializes hardware. 68 Technical Specifications
