Reboot the switch again and see if the same error message occurs.  If it does, RMA the switch.

This is fine.

hi leo,

thanks for the feedback! this is a new switch actually.

was doing further reading and i saw it's a feature you can enable.

i believe and safe to say that this line during POST/boot up can be ignored.
