Brocade 300 Operation
Powering the Brocade 300 on and off
To power on the Brocade 300, connect the power cable to the AC receptacle on the switch and to a
power source. The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on, reset, or rebooted, and
requires a up to three minutes to run.
To end the flow of power to the Brocade 300, remove the power cord from the power source.
DANGER
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the device.
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 steady lights and flashing
lights can be green or amber.
The LEDs flash either of these colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot processes and
diagnostic tests are complete.
