Connecting to a power source and powering on

Plug one end of a power supply cord into each power supply inlet connector, then plug the other end of the power cord into grounded electrical outlets on separate AC circuits.

Note
The C1200 appliance only has one power supply.

Check the LEDs on the power supplies. Make sure that the primary power supply LED is green.

Press the power button on the front of the appliance bezel.

Observe the messages on the front LCD of the C2100 and on the terminal console of the C1200 during boot. If you encounter errors, see Startup error messages for corrective actions.

Observe the network status LEDs on the appliance NICs during boot. The LEDs should be like the following list:

• Network connectivity--Green indicates the appliance is connected to the network.
• Network communication--Flashing amber LEDs indicate network access.

See Interpreting LED messages for descriptions of messages you might see during the boot process.

Observe the console startup messages for errors.

If you encounter errors, see Error Messages and Troubleshooting for corrective actions.
