In this procedure we assume that the device is already connected to a power source.
For specifications on the electrical requirements for the device, see CTP150 Platform Specifications.

To power on the device:
The device goes through a boot process. When a prompt appears on the console, the device is ready to be configured. If the device is new, it boots to a first boot script. If the device is already operational, it boots to a login prompt.
During initial power-on, the components of the platform run boot code, go through a series of self-diagnostic tests, and synchronize with each other.
When the tests are complete, use the LEDs on each module to determine the status of the device. Observe the module LEDs on the front or rear components.
