Powering Up the CSS

To power up a CSS:

•On an AC CSS, toggle the power switch to the 1 (on) position.

–See Figure 2-11for the location of the CSS 11501 AC power switch.

–See Figure 2-12for the location of the CSS 11503 AC power switch.

–See Figure 2-14for the location of the CSS 11506 AC power switch for each power supply. Power on all of the supplies in the CSS. The AC OK and DC OK LEDs light up on each power supply. If either LED remains unlit, see the “Troubleshooting the CSS Power Supply” section later in this chapter.

•For a DC CSS, switch on the applicable circuit breakers for the power source. Then on the CSS, toggle the power switch to the 1 (on) position.

–See Figure 2-13for the location of the CSS 11503 DC power switch.

–See Figure 2-15for the location of the CSS 11506 DC power switch for each power supply. Power on all of the supplies in the CSS. The I/P OK and DC OK LEDs light up on each power supply. If either LED remains unlit, see the “Troubleshooting the CSS Power Supply” section later in this chapter.

The CSS starts the boot process. For information concerning the boot process on the Cisco 11500 series CSS, refer to the Cisco Content Services Switch Administration Guide.

Powering Down the CSS

To shut down the CSS gracefully and avoid introducing lost or fragmented files, always use the shutdown command prior to removing power from the CSS.

For example:

(config-boot)# shutdown

Once the CSS shuts down all processes, you can remove power from the CSS.
