operating, the Character Display displays the
following:

is the number of the power supply that is not
operating. The installed switch fabric module Status
LED flashes green.
When the power-on phase has completed
successfully, normal operation begins and switch
fabric module Status LEDs stop flashing and remain a
steady green.
If one of the power-on diagnostic tests fails, then the
switch fabric module Status LED turns a steady
yellow.
The switch displays the following message when the
management module is installed properly and the
RS-232 connection is made:
