Chapter 4 Turning on the Avaya P460
Powering Up
In order to turn on the chassis you need to install at least one PSU and at least one Supervisor Module.
The fans are on whenever the power is on in the chassis, whether Supervisor Modules are installed or not.

2The Supervisor module will turn on the modules one by one, verifying that there is enough power budget in the system first. If there are two Supervisor modules, the Active Supervisor Module perfoms this procedure.
Turning on a Chassis with a Supervisor Module Only
