Booting the Switch
The OmniSwitch 6855 Series switch does not use an on/off
switch. The power cord is the switch’s only connect/discon-
nect device. The power connector socket is located on the
switch’s power supply. For more information, refer to the
OmniSwitch 6855 Series Hardware Users Guide.
To boot the switch, plug the power cord (provided) into the
power connector socket or power brick at the switch’s rear
panel. Next, plug the power cord into an easily-accessible
power source, such as a grounded AC outlet or an Uninterrupt-
ible Power Supply (UPS).
The switch immediately begins the boot process. Allow a few
moments for the switch to boot completely, then verify the
status of all LEDs on the switch’s front panel. A successful
boot displays the following LED states:
If either the OK or PS1 LED states differ from the states
shown in the table, refer to the OmniSwitch 6855 Series Hard-
ware Users Guide for more information. Contact Alcatel-
Lucent Customer Support if the unexpected LED state persists.
