Operating the Brocade 5000 Chapter 3 This chapter provides the following information: - "Powering the Brocade 5000 On and Off," next - "Interpreting LED Activity" on page 15 - "Interpreting POST Results" on page 19 - "Maintaining the Brocade 5000" on page 19 Powering the Brocade 5000 On and Off To power the Brocade 5000 on, connect one or both power cords to the power connectors on the power supplies and to a power source; then, set the AC power switches to "I". Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on. The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on; it requires a minimum of three minutes to boot and complete POST. To power the Brocade 5000 off, power off both power supplies by setting each AC power switch to "O". All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on. Interpreting LED Activity System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The lights are in one of the following colors: - Green - Amber Sometimes, the LEDs flash any of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
