Checking the LEDs
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 Content Engine.
The system should begin booting. Once the operating system boots, you are ready to initialize the basic software configuration. (Refer to the software configuration guide or user guide that shipped with your system.)
Note While the Content Engine is powering up, the green power LED (labeled 4 in Figure 11) is on.
Note You can install a circular disk over the power control button to prevent accidental manual power down. This disk, known as the power control button shield, comes with your Content Engine.
Checking the LEDs
When the Content Engine is up and running, observe the front and back panel LEDs to verify that your system is operating properly.
Figure 11 shows the location of front panel LEDs, and Table 2 describes their function.
