Installing the Switch on a Table or Shelf
• Fatal failure(s) detected—POST completes all tests, even after detecting a fatal failure.
If the SYSTEM LED is amber and one or more of the port LEDs are amber, POST
detected one or more fatal failures. The switch is not operational, the management
console is not available, and the amber port LED(s) indicate which test(s) failed.
The “Understanding POST Failures” section on page 5-7 provides additional information,
including the possible causes of nonfatal and fatal failures. For information about how to
display POST results, see the “Starting Up the Switch and Displaying the POST Results”
section on page 5-12.
Note Inform your system administrator about any POST failures. Contact your Cisco
representative or reseller for support if any POST failures are detected.
