Appendix D Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program Completing the Setup Program When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the power-on self test (POST), a series of tests that verifies that the switch functions properly. When the switch begins POST, the system LED slowly blinks green. When POST completes, the system LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains amber. If POST completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green. POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST. If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt. Note If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that shipped with your RPS.
