When you power up the chassis, the system performs a power-on self-test (POST) during which Route
Processor Modules (RPMs), switch fabric modules (SFMs), and line cards status LEDs blink green. The
system then loads FTOS; boot messages scroll up the terminal 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 12.
For details on using the mode-based Command Line Interface (CLI), see the Command Line Interface
section in Chapter 1, Configuration Fundamentals, on page 37.
