Powering On the Switch
Complete these steps to power on the switch:
Step 1 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the power connector on the switch rear
panel, as shown in Figure 1-3.
Figure 1-3 Connecting the Power
Step 2
Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
When the switch powers on, it automatically begins power-on self-test (POST), a
series of tests that verifies that the switch functions properly. When the switch
begins POST, the port LEDs turn green, the system LED blinks green, the RPS
LED turns off, and then the first two port LEDs turn off. When POST completes,
the port LEDs return to the status mode display, and the system LED is green. If
the switch fails POST, the system LED is amber, and the port LED associated with
the particular test is amber.
If POST fails, see Chapter 4, “Troubleshooting,” to determine a course of action.
