Providing power to the switch
Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade VDX 6710-54.
1. Connect the power cords to both power supplies, and then to power sources on separate
circuits to protect against failure. Ensure that the power cords have a minimum service loop of
15.2 cm (6 in.) available and are routed to avoid stress.
2. Power on the Brocade VDX 6710-54 by turning both on/off switches to "I." The power supply
LEDs display amber until POST is complete, and then change to green. The switch usually
requires several minutes to boot and complete POST.
ATTENTION
Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on.
Verifying operation
After you have powered on the system and POST is complete, verify that the switch is working
properly.
1. Verify that the power supply LEDs are solid green. See
for the location of
these LEDs.
2. Verify that the system power LED and the system status LED are solid green. See
