Installing the Switch

Verifying Boot Fast

When you power on the switch, it automatically begins a boot fast sequence. The System LED blinks
green as the Cisco IOS software image loads. If the boot fast sequence fails, the System LED turns red.
Note Boot fast failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco TAC immediately if your switch does not complete boot
fast successfully. See the “Obtaining Documentation, Obtaining Support, and Security Guidelines”
section on page -viii.
Note You can disable the boot fast and run POST by using the CiscoIOS CLI. See the Cisco IE 2000 Switch
Software Configuration Guide and the Cisco IE 2000 Switch Command Reference for more information.

Disconnecting Power

To disconnect power after successfully running boot fast, follow these steps:
Step1 Turn off power to the switch.
Step2 Disconnect the cables.
