Gigabit Ethernet Interconnect Requirements
Warning: Hazardous energy exists within the SuperStack II Switch 9300 system. Always
be careful to avoid electric shock or equipment damage. Many installation and
troubleshooting procedures should be performed only by trained technical personnel.
Install optional power supply
The system operates using a single power supply assembly and is shipped with one power
supply installed.
You can add an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to the system. The additional power
supply is orderable and shipped separately. Contact your sales representative.
You can add a redundant power supply (RPS) to the system. The additional power supply is
orderable and shipped separately.
For instructions on how to install the RPS, see the Advanced RPS Power Module Type 2
User Guide.
Attach the cables
Cable your system for connecting these elements to your network:
• 1000BASE–SX/LX connectors
• 10BASE–T out–of–band port connector
• Console port
For information on cabling ports, see Chapter 3: Cabling in the Getting Started Guide for
your system.
Power On the system
Place the system near an easily accessible power outlet. You can only power down the
system by removing the power cord from the power source. To get your system powered up
and ready to operate:
• Verify that each unused slot in the system is covered with a blank faceplate.
• To view possible error messages in the Administration Console while the system is
running power–up diagnostics, connect a terminal, workstation, or PC with terminal
emulation software to the system’s terminal serial port.
• On the back panel, plug the power cord into the power receptacle.
• CAUTION: To prevent a possible fire hazard, be sure to fully insert the power cord.
• Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.
LEDs and Power–up Diagnostics
Your system runs diagnostic software at power up. This software verifies that every
component in the system is operating correctly. If any component fails during power–up
diagnostics, the system either fails to power up or it prevents faulty modules from coming
online.
For diagnostic messages, view the system configuration display in the administration
console (if you have connected the system to a workstation).
The system and port LEDs are described in Figure 46.
