Communications Server | distribution diskette, you are ready to boot your communications server: |
| 1 Insert the working diskette in the drive, label side up. |
| 2 If the server is off, turn it on by pressing the I side of the power switch |
| located on the back panel. If it is on, press the reset switch. |
| All LEDs on the front panel light briefly when the server is turned on or |
| reset. The Power and Self Test LEDs should remain on after the others |
| turn off. If they do not, turn off the server by pressing the O side of the |
| power switch. Verify that the power cord is connected properly to a |
| working outlet, then turn on the server again. |
| The Self Test LED remains on during |
| seconds. The server then enters the boot phase. The Boot State LED |
| remains on during boot, which takes several minutes. The server then |
| reads software configuration information, such as parameter tables, |
| routing tables, and directory of logical names, from the diskette. This |
| process takes about 20 seconds. |
| CAUTION: 3Com suggests that you leave a working copy of the diskette |
| in the drive. If the power fails, the communications server must have a |
| diskette in the drive to restart automatically and to record any |
| parameter changes. |
