Providing power to the switch
Perform the following steps to provide power to the Brocade VDX 6730.
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 6730-32 by turning both on/off switches to "I." The Brocade VDX
6730-76 powers up automatically when plugged in. 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.
3. After POST is complete, verify that the switch power and status LEDs on the left of the port side
of the switch are green. Refer to
for the specific
location of these LEDs.
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
for the specific locations of these LEDs.
3. The port LEDs should be lit during POST activities. When POST is complete, only the LEDs for
ports connected to other devices should be green. See
, and
for the specific locations of these LEDs.
