When you power up the chassis, the system performs a Power-On Self Test (POST) during which Route
Processor Module (RPM), Switch Fabric Module (SFM), and line card status LEDs blink green.The
system then loads FTOS and boot messages scroll up the terminal window during this process. No user
interaction is required if the boot process proceeds without interruption.
When the boot process is complete, the RPM and line card status LEDs remain online (green), and the
console monitor displays the Force10 banner and EXEC mode prompt, as shown in Figure 3-1.
For details on using the Command Line Interface (CLI), see the Accessing the Command Line section in
Chapter 1, Configuration Fundamentals, on page 47.
