Connecting Power to the Switch
You can install a single primary source of power or provide two sources of power for redundancy,
as described in the following sections. Examples below illustrate connecting two power sources
and assume two power supply modules have already been installed as described previously in
"Installing a Power Supply" on page 2‐7.
To connect the G‐Series switch to one or two power sources, proceed as follows:
1.
Plug a power cord into each switch AC power receptacle.
2.
Plug the other end of each power cord into an appropriate, dedicated grounded AC outlet as
follows.
•
•
3.
Verify that the appropriate power LEDs (PWR1 and PWR2, not shown), located on the front
panel, turn on as described in "Power LED Displays" on page 2‐12 and the SYSTEM LED
turns red until the G‐Series completes its initialization.
If the initialization process is successful, the SYSTEM LED turns green. If the SYSTEM LED does
not turn green, refer to Chapter
Power LED Displays
Once one or more power supplies are installed and power is connected to the switch, the power
LEDs (PWR1 and PWR2) will indicate the switch's power mode (redundant or additive) as
follows:
Display
Off
Green
Amber
Red
Refer to "Supported Power Configurations" on page 2‐6 for possible configurations in each power
mode.

Caution: Use caution when removing an IOM on which you have optional PoE installed to avoid
damaging the PoE module.
Precaución: Tenga cuidado al retirar un IOM que tenga un módulo PoE instalado, ya que éste
puede dañarse.

Note: To take advantage of the load sharing and redundancy capabilities, each power cord must be
plugged into a separate dedicated AC outlet.
