Installing the Switch

Connecting to a Power Source

To connect a device to a power source:

1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the socket located at the back of the

device.

Figure 3-6 Power Socket

2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.

Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must

use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your

country.

3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the Power

LED is on. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.

4. If you have purchased a Redundant Power Supply, connect it to the switch and

to an AC power source now.

Connecting to the Console Port

The RJ-45 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for

out-of-band console configuration. The on-board configuration program can be

accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin

assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.
