Steps to Install the PCI-SB Card
Step 5 - Powering Up the Local and Remote Devices
Follow these steps to correctly power-up the devices:
1. Power-up the remote device first, as shown in Figure 27. The PCI-SB card in
the local device must synchronize with the remote interface card at power-up, so
power-up the remote device before powering up the local device.
FIGURE 27. Powering Up the Devices
2. Power-up the local device. If the serial ports are synchronized, LEDs for the
ports in use turn solid green and remain on. If the LEDs are flashing, this means
links are synchronized, but cannot pass traffic. If this happens, refer to Chapter
4, “Troubleshooting.”
