Completing the hardware installation
This section verifies that the Model 6081RC hardware is operational to the point where you can begin config-
uring the software settings.
Power is delivered from the chassis backplane through the power connectors on the 6081RC blades. Upon
insertion into the ForeFront chassis, the Model 6081RC immediately powers up and begins its boot cycle.
During the boot cycle the following should occur:
1. The POWER LED illuminates, indicating normal power is being applied to the 6081RC.
2. The L2 LINK LED begins flashing, indicating the 6081RC is operating normally.
Hardware installation is now complete. To configure the 6081RC for operation, refer to Chapter 3, “Initial
configuration”.
