Overview
How to verify the Cisco C9610 switch chassis installation.
To make sure that your Cisco C9610R chassis is installed correctly, follow these steps.
Procedure
| 1. | Verify that the ejector levers of each module are fully closed (parallel to the faceplate) to ensure that the supervisor and all the line cards are fully seated in the backplane connectors. |
|
| 2. | Verify that all empty module slots and power supply bays have blanks installed properly. The blanks optimize the air flow through the chassis and contain EMI. |
|
| 3. | Switch on the power supply modules to power up the system. During the power-up sequence, the system performs a series of bootup diagnostic tests. The switch is designed to boot up in less than 30 minutes, provided that the neighboring devices are in fully operational state. |
What to do next
Additional system diagnostic tests are also available. These tests allow you to perform a complete sanity check on the system prior to inserting the system into your network, and to monitor the health of the system while the system is running.
When prestaging systems in a nonproduction environment, we recommend that you run all the diagnostic tests, including the disruptive tests, to prescreen the systems for failures, if any.
