F5 BIG-IP 2000 Series Power standby mode when turning it on

I have got a F5 WAF Big-IP 2000. It give on the LCD screen it says "Power Standby Mode. Press Enter to Command Power On" when i turn it on. I have tried to press the green button but the F5 logo blinks once and goes dark again. I found a solution online that mentioned to hold the green check button on the LCD panel for a second to get the device out of stand by mode. Tried this as mentioned earlier but nothing.

Can you please help?

Thanks!

    Hi AhmadZak,

     

    It appears that we have two articles about this. I would recommend reading through each of them and then trying the steps in the second article. If that doesn't work then I would recommend opening a ticket with Support to continue troubleshooting and possibly RMA the device depending on the troubleshooting results.
