Power-up Diagnostics
The system runs diagnostic software at power up. This software verifies
that every component in the system is operating correctly.
If any component fails during power-up diagnostics, the system either
fails to power up or the faulty module comes up but all of its ports are
out of service. When the system comes up, verify which modules, if any,
have failed diagnostics by checking the module LEDs against the tables in
the module installation guides or by viewing the system configuration
display in the Administration Console (if you have connected the system
to a workstation) or in the System Summary form on the WebConsole.
During power up, the system processor LEDs provide information on
components in your system, as shown in Table 4.
