6.2.2 Turning On the Input Power and Starting the XSCF


6.2.2 Turning On the Input Power and Starting the XSCF
  1. Set the mode switch on the operation panel to the Service position. For a building block configuration, set the mode switch to the Service position for both the master XSCF and standby XSCF.
    The Service position is indicated by a wrench icon. The Locked position is indicated by a lock icon.
Remarks - In a building block configuration with direct connections between chassis, turn the mode switches of BB-ID#00 and BB-ID#01 to Service mode. In a building block configuration with connections via a crossbar box, turn the mode switches of BB-ID#80 and BB-ID#81 to Service mode.
Note - Set the mode switch to the same mode for both the master XSCF and standby XSCF. If their settings are different, an asterisk (*) is shown beside the components in the output of the showhardconf or showstatus command.

  1. Confirm that the power cord connector is connected to a power supply unit of the SPARC M12-2S.
  2. Connect the power cord plug to an outlet.
    If the outlet has a circuit breaker, turn on the circuit breaker switch.
    For an expansion rack, push in all the CB switches on the PDUs. When pushed in, a CB switch is turned on. When pulled out, the switch is turned off.
    For the locations of the CB switches on the PDUs, see A in Figure 3-3 in "3.3.1 Connecting the Power Cords to the Power Distribution Units of an Expansion Rack."
  3. Check the XSCF unit LEDs.
    a. The CHECK LED of the XSCF unit goes on for an instant immediately after the input power is turned on.

    b. The READY LED of the XSCF unit flashes during XSCF initialization and stays on after the initialization completes.

    c. For a building block configuration, the MASTER LED of only the XSCF unit of the master XSCF goes on.
Note - In a building block configuration with direct connections between chassis, BB#00 is the master XSCF. In a building block configuration with connections via a crossbar box, BB#80 works as the chassis of the master XSCF. If the MASTER LED of BB#00 or BB#80 does not turn on, the master chassis may have been switched. Check the MASTER LED of the XSCF of BB#01 or BB#81. If it has been switched, connect the system management terminal to the chassis whose MASTER LED is on.
