Powering the Brocade 5300 on and off

Complete the following steps to power the Brocade 5300 on.

1. Connect one or both power cords to the power connectors on the power supplies and to a

power source

2. Set the AC power switches to “I”.

Power is supplied to the switch as soon as the first power supply is connected and powered on.

The switch runs POST by default each time it is powered on; it can take up to several minutes to

boot and complete POST.

To power the Brocade 5300 off, power off both power supplies by setting each AC power switch to

“O”. All devices are returned to their initial state the next time the switch is powered on.

LED activity interpretation

System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch.

There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. The lights are

green or amber.

Sometimes, the LEDs flash either of the colors during boot, POST, or other diagnostic tests. This is

normal; it does not indicate a problem unless the LEDs do not indicate a healthy state after all boot

processes and diagnostic tests are complete.
