4.2.2 To start the equipment

The following table describes the procedures for starting and restarting the Switch.

Table 4-3: Startup and restart methods

Start method	Description	Procedure
Power on	Starts the Switch from the powered-off status.	Turn ON the power by plugging the power cord attached to the server into a power outlet.
Command restart	Resets the Switch after a failure.	Execute the reload command.

If ST1 LED turns on orange when the server is started and restarted, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide. For more information about LED indicators, refer to the "Hardware Instruction Manual."

The Switch boots from the memory card if you start or restart the Switch from an inserted memory card that contains the software image file k.img. When you use this method, the account and configuration information reverts to the factory defaults and you cannot save your own settings. Avoid using this method under normal circumstances.
