Power Input Port (Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L Switch)
The Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L can receive power from these sources:
1. Through a 10/100/1000 port from an upstream Ethernet switch that provides power (complies with
IEEE 802.3af). (See Figure 1-21.)
2. Through an external AC power adapter that connects to the back of the switch. This external power
adapter (PWR-A=) is not included with the switch, but you can order it from your Cisco
representative. (See Figure 1-22.)

LEDs
You can use the switch LEDs to monitor switch activity and its performance. Figure 1-23 shows the
switch LEDs and the Mode button that you use to select one of the port modes.
All LEDs are visible through the GUI management applications—Network Assistant for multiple
switches and the device manager for a single switch. The switch software configuration guide describes
how to use the CLI to configure and to monitor individual switches and switch clusters.
