Indicates that the CE is powered up and has established communications with an IOP. After this state, the CE transitions to either Booting or SyncSlave (where CE synchronization is performed). Indicates that the CE(s) are in the process of booting the Windows NT operating system from the IOP(s). This process typically takes a few minutes, at which point the CE transitions to active.

The CE remains in this state until it is shutdown, fails, or is removed from the configuration as a result of an Endurance Manager command. 23
