Starting the System and Observing Initial Conditions
After installing your Cisco SCE 8000 platform and connecting cables, complete the following steps to
start the Cisco SCE 8000 platform:
Step 1 Ensure the power cables are connected to the Cisco SCE 8000 platform.
Step 2 Plug the AC power supply cables into the AC power source, or make sure the circuit breakers at the DC
panels are turned to the on position. Turn on the switches on both power supplies.
Step 3 Listen for the fans; you should immediately hear them operating.
Step 4 During the boot process, observe the following LEDs on the Cisco SCE 8000-SCM-E:
• The Power LEDs should be green.
• Optical Bypass LED should be green while the Cisco SCE 8000 is in bypass and unlit when the
optical bypass is turned off.
• The Status LED should be a constant amber while booting. After a successful boot, the Status LED
is steady green.
Note It takes a several minutes for the Cisco SCE 8000 to boot and for the status LED to change from amber
to green.
