When you apply power, the power LED can display the following behavior: The power LED will blink yellow as it conducts a Power-On Self Test (POST). After the switch passes the POST, the LED turns green. The switch is now functional. If the POST fails, the Power LED will remain yellow (see “Troubleshooting” in the Hardware Installation Manual for assistance). If the power LED does not light, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and that the power source is good. If this does not resolve the problem, see “Troubleshooting” in the Hardware Installation Guide on the Resource CD.
