Powering-Up the Switch
Connect the power cord to the IEC socket on the
1
rear of the Switch, and to your mains socket.
The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the only method
of connecting or disconnecting mains power is
through the power cord.
The Switch enters a Power On Self Test (POST). The
2
time taken for the test to complete is dependent
on the type of POST configured (refer to
Management Setup"
to configure the type of POST). For a new Switch
that is being installed for the first time, power-up
takes approximately 15 seconds.
Check the status LEDs to ensure the Switch is oper-
3
ating correctly (refer to

Connecting a Redundant Power System (RPS)
You can connect a Redundant Power System (RPS)
to the Switch.
At +5V, the current requirement for the Switch is
4.8A, excluding a Plug-in Module. Check the docu-
mentation supplied with your Plug-in Module for
power consumption figures.
For most configurations, you need only one Super-
Stack II RPS output, and this can be connected to
either of the two sockets on the rear of the unit.
If the current consumption of the Switch plus any
Plug-in Module exceeds the capability of the RPS
(8.5A), you need a SuperStack II Advanced RPS with
one Advanced RPS 100W module.
If the RPS is used incorrectly, its Output Fault LED
lights yellow.
You should check the documentation supplied with
the RPS or Advanced RPS to see if the outputs can
be used in parallel.
