Powering On the Acme Packet 6300

This section explains how to power on your Acme Packet 6300/6350.

Note:

There is a slight difference between the Acme Packet 6300 and Acme Packet 6350 platforms in regards to powering on the system. The Acme Packet 6300 has no ON/OFF switches, while the Acme Packet 6350 has a System Power switch, which enables you to control the power to the system. For more information on the Acme Packet 6350's System Power switch, see Rear View.

To power on the Acme Packet 6300/6350 hardware:

1. Plug in the power cord. If you have the Acme Packet 6300, the power turns on and the system starts to boot. If you have the Acme Packet 6350, put the System Power switch into the ON position and the power turns on and the system starts to boot. For more information on the System Power switch, see Rear View.
2. When operating with redundant power supplies, both power supplies must be plugged in either simultaneously or within a few seconds of each other. Otherwise, an alarm is generated.
3. The graphic display on the front control panel will begin to display information.
