Booting the CSS on a Routine Basis
When you power up the CSS (after initial start-up), the boot process:
• Displays the software version and build number
• Performs hardware initialization and power-on diagnostics
• Checks the results of the previous shutdown
• Provides access to the Offline Diagnostic Monitor (Offline DM) menu
• Prompts you to log into the CSS
The boot-up sequence is described in the sections below.
Performing Hardware Initialization and Power-On Diagnostics
When you boot the CSS, it initializes the hardware and performs power-on
diagnostics. During this time, the module Status and Ready LEDs blink to
indicate the stages of the boot process. If a non-recoverable error occurs during
the boot sequence, the module Status and Ready LEDs blink indefinitely until you
cold boot the CSS and the error is cleared.
• The CSS 11050 or CSS 11150 boot process takes approximately 15 seconds
to complete.
• The CSS 11800 boot process takes approximately 1 to 3 minutes (depending
on your configuration) to complete.
