3.Observe that the power (RPS) LED (not shown), located on the front panel, turns ON (green) and the CPU turns red until the device completes its initialization. It takes under 30 seconds for the device to boot up.

NOTE: If the power-up sequence is interrupted on this device, or if optional hardware has been installed or removed, this device may run an extended diagnostics sequence that may take up to two minutes to complete.

4.If you are installing an optional redundant power system (RPS), refer to the Matrix C Series

Redundant Power System Installation Guide supplied with the RPS. The RPS chassis is connected to the 15-pinD-type connector using a DC Power/Monitor cable.
