3Com CS/2500 manual Normal Startup, Messages, Boot Problems, Shutting Down

3-8 CHAPTER 3: STARTUP

Normal Startup	If a terminal is attached to the console port, startup messages appear on
Messages	it during the boot process. These messages vary, depending on your boot
	source. For example, if the firmware’s Initial Boot Source parameter is
	set to Local Floppy or Floppy then Network on a Model CS/2600,
	messages similar to the following appear on the console:
	Series 2000 Power-up
	CPU - Passed 2Mbyte RAM C3 MMON rev. xyz
	EC- Passed Station Address- 0800F1B67068
	SIO - Passed 10 ports
	..........
	The server’s Ethernet address and firmware version are displayed along
	with other startup messages.
	For more information, refer to Appendix B, “Startup Messages.”
	If the LEDs or console messages indicate an error, refer to Chapter 6,
	“Troubleshooting.” If you still cannot resolve the problem, contact 3Com
	or your network supplier.
Boot Problems	If the Self Test LED remains on longer than one minute, the unit has
	failed the test. Contact 3Com or your network supplier.
	If a terminal is attached to the port designated as the console port, check
	it for confirmation of the failure. The server may not always be able to
	report the failure on the console (for example, CPU failure). Report the
	failure and console messages, if any, to 3Com or your network supplier.
	Appendix B, “Startup Messages,” provides information on these
	messages.
	If the Self Test LED flashes after the self-test diagnostics have run, the
	communications server is unable to boot its software from the RBCS
	server. Verify that the RBCS server is properly configured and attached
	to the network. (Refer to the Remote Boot and Configuration Services
	User’s Guide for configuration information.) Press the communications
	server’s reset switch to try again.
