Powering Up the SSA Switch

To connect the SSA switch to the power sources, follow these steps:

  1. Plug a power cord into each power supply‘s AC power receptacle.
  2. Plug the cord into a dedicated grounded AC outlet.
    In the case of a two power supply configuration, to take advantage of redundancy capabilities, plug each power cord into a separate dedicated AC outlet.

The system PWR LED, located on the switch I/O port panel, turns ON (green) and the CPU LED turns red until the SSA switch completes its initialization.

It takes less than 30 seconds for the SSA switch to boot up.

Note

Note

If the power-up sequence is interrupted on the SSA switch, it might run an extended diagnostics sequence that takes up to two minutes to complete.

When the initialization process is successful, the CPU LED turns green. If the CPU LED does not turn green, refer to Troubleshooting.
