Installing the Switch
Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a switch to a power source:
1.
Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC receptacle located at the back
of the switch.
2.
Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, 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 PWR
LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.
4.
If you have purchased a Redundant Power Unit, connect it to the switch and to
an AC power source now, following the instructions included with the package.
Connecting to the Console Port
The DB-9 serial port on the switch's front panel is used to connect to the switch for
out-of-band console configuration. The command-line-driven 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.
