After you supply power to the system, the following should occur:
• During bootup, power is removed temporarily from all line cards and SFM3s. This is expected behavior.
• Both fan trays should be operating. The fan tray and SFM3 LEDs might flash amber during bootup.

1 Flip the REMOTE power switch to the ON position.
2 Remove the card from the box. Remove the card from the anti-static bag.
3 Flip the On/Standby switch to the ON position.
4 The Status LED for each power supply should be green (online). If a power supply’s LED is not lit or is amber:
• Ensure that the unit is properly installed.
• Verify the power source.
• If the power supply’s LED remains unlit, power off the remote power source and replace the unit.
5 Both fan tray LEDs should be green (they may flash green, or amber during a long boot). Verify that air is flowing
through the chassis. If a fan tray is not operating properly or air is not flowing through the chassis:
• Power off the chassis at the remote power source.
• Ensure that the fan tray is properly installed.
• Verify the power source.
• If the fan tray LED remains unlit on power-up, replace the fan tray.
