during shipment. Reseat all I/O and controller cards before initial power up. See chapter 6, “Upgrades and Maintenance”, for the applicable procedures.

Toggle the Primary AC Power Input switch to the on ( ) position to power up the BME.

If this BME is equipped with redundant power supplies A and B, toggle the Redundant AC Power Input switch to the on ( ) position.

Power Supplies LEDs — On power up, observe that the +V and -V Primary LEDs light to indicate that the supplied power is within tolerance.

If this BME is equipped with redundant power supplies A and B, on power up, observe that the +V and -V Redundant LEDs light to indicate that the supplied power is within tolerance. If the primary A or B power supply fails, the Primary LEDs go out and the Redundant LEDs blink to indicate that the redundant B or A power supply is supplying the load.

CPU Status LEDs — On power up, observe that the Primary CPU Status LED blinks initially to indicate that internal startup housekeeping is occurring and then, assuming that the primary controller is the active controller, blinks to indicate that the primary controller is ready.

If this BME is equipped with a redundant controller card, observe that the Redundant CPU Status LED blinks initially and then, assuming that the redundant controller is the standby controller, lights steadily to indicate that the redundant controller is ready. If the primary controller fails, the Primary CPU Status LED goes out and the Redundant CPU Status LED blinks to indicate that the redundant controller is the active controller.

NBoth LEDs blink at startup. After startup, the LED for the active controller blinks and the LED for the standby controller lights steadily.
