System Boot 

When you supply power to the C7004/C150 system, the system performs a series of power-on self-tests. 
RPM and line card status LEDs blink during initialization. No user interaction is required as long as the 
boot process proceeds without interruption. Observe the process on your console monitor. When the boot 
process is complete, the RPM and line card status LEDs remain online (green) and the console monitor 
displays the command line interface (CLI) prompt, 

Force10>

.

The RPM cards in the C7004/C150 system use a Compact Flash Card (external flash memory card) to 
store and retrieve boot and system images. This is the default storage area for the boot files and the 
startup configuration file. Upon system power-up or a system reset, the boot process uses parameters 
stored in non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) to boot the system. 

Each RPM card is equipped with a slot for an external flash memory card (slot0:). You can copy the 
image files and configuration files to the external flash device on the 

primary

 RPM. You can also begin 

your boot process by accessing a remote server containing the boot image and system image files. 

 

NOTE: 

The C7004/C150 system supports up to a 40-character file name length, up to a 180-character local 

file path length, and up to a 256-character remote file path length.

For information about the Compact Flash Card, refer to 

Appendix , , on page 55

Booting from the BOOT_USER Prompt

To get into the BOOT_USER mode, issue a break control sequence (CNTL+^) to interrupt the automatic 
boot process; you may enter the mode if you experience boot problems. This mode allows you to modify 
the parameters necessary to manage the boot process. Only console port access is enabled for the 
BOOT_USER mode.

The 

BOOT_USER

 # prompt appears after an autoboot interruption. This is the default boot prompt, not the 

CLI prompt. 

In some display outputs, you can continue the help screen display by pressing ENTER or stop the output 
by entering 

q

 and then ENTER. You can abbreviate the boot commands by entering only the first letter of 

a command word. (In the BOOT_USER mode, you cannot press the TAB key to complete commands.) A 
matching algorithm displays the commands, starting with the letter or letters you entered. For example, 

b

 

displays the commands starting with the letter b, 

boot change

 and 

boot selector.

 

Entering

 s h 

displays the 

syntax help

 information. All commands are case-insensitive.

To configure the chassis from the BOOT_USER prompt use the following commands:
