Chapter 2 Switch Installation (24- and 48-Port Switches)
Installing the Switch
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. When
the switch begins POST, the System, RPS, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED
blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.
When the POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green
for some time and then reflects the switch operating status. The other LEDs turn off and then reflect the
switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the System LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
Powering Off the Switch
After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, on a
wall, on a table, or on a shelf as described in the
“Installing the Switch” section on page 2-7
