10.9.2 Starting the System From the OPNL
This procedure assumes that you start the system in a server room or other environment where you can directly check the LEDs of the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S.
For information on the LEDs you check here, see "2.4 Understanding the LED Indications."
  1. Check the LEDs on the OPNL.
    See the OPNL to check that its POWER LED is off and that its XSCF STANDBY LED is on.
  2. Check the mode switch on the OPNL.
    Check that the mode switch on the OPNL is set to Locked. In a building block configuration connecting multiple SPARC M12-2S units, set the mode switch to Locked on the SPARC M12-2S units that house the master XSCF and the standby XSCF, respectively.
  3. Press the POWER switch on the OPNL to start the system.
    Press the POWER switch on the SPARC M12-2/M12-2S that houses the master XSCF. The command to start the system is issued when you hold down the POWER switch for more than 1 second and less than 4 seconds.
    For details, see "2.3.2 OPNL Control Function."
Note - For a building block configuration, press down the POWER switch on the master chassis. The POWER switches on the other chassis are disabled.
  1. Check the operation status of the system.
    See the POWER LED on the OPNL to check the operation status. When the POWER LED turns on, it means that the system is running. Note that, in a building block configuration connecting multiple SPARC M12-2S units, the POWER LED for each physical partition turns on or blinks individually.
