Chapter 3 Installing the Wide Area Virtualization Engine

Checking the LEDs

Step 1 Review the information in the “Safety Guidelines” section on page 2-4.

Step 2 Plug a power cord into the power cord receptacle on the back of the WAVE appliance.

Step 3 Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source at your installation site. Step 4 Power up all externally connected devices.

Step 5 Press the power control button on the front of the WAVE appliance.

The system should begin booting. Once the operating system boots, you are ready to initialize the basic software configuration. (See the software configuration guide for details.)

Note While the WAVE appliance is powering up, the green power-on LED on the front of the WAVE appliance is on.

Checking the LEDs

When the WAVE appliance is up and running, observe the front panel LEDs (see Figure 1-1and Table 1-1) to verify that your system is operating properly.

To troubleshoot using the LEDs, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting the System

Hardware.”

Removing or Replacing a WAVE Appliance

To remove a WAVE appliance from your network, power it down, disconnect the power cords and network cables, and physically remove the chassis from the rack.

The WAVE appliance is in constant communication with the router on your network. When the router notices that the WAVE appliance is no longer responding to it, the router stops sending requests to the WAVE appliance. This action is transparent to users. If other WAVE appliances are attached to the router, the router continues sending requests to the other WAVE appliances.
