3. Observe the power CPU LED (not shown) located on the front panel. During the
initialization, the CPU LED will start by illuminating solid amber, then start blinking
green, then blinking amber, then blinking green again until the end of the
initialization, and then turns solid green.
If the switch is a standalone unit, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch
to start up. If the switch is a stack Manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to start
up, depending on the number of Member switches in the stack.
PoE Power
If you are installing an optional SecureStack C2 PoE redundant power supply (C2RPS‐
POE), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the C2RPS‐POE. The switch is
connected to a C2RPS‐POE using a C2RPS‐POE Cable.
If you are installing the switch as a standalone device, proceed to "Connecting to Console
Port for Local Management" on page 3‐17. If you are installing switches in a stack
configuration, proceed to "Stack Initialization Overview" on page 3‐16.

Stack Initialization Overview

When you install and connect all the high‐speed stacking cables to the switches in the
stack before applying power to the switches, the following occurs:
• The switch that will manage (Manager) the stack is automatically established with all
other switches established as Member switches in the stack. When the switches
complete their initializations, one of the switches in the stack will illuminate its
Manager LED, indicating that it is the stack Manager. The Manager LED on each
Member switch will be off.
• The hierarchy of the switches that will function as backup Manager is also determined
in case the current Manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from
the stack.

Note: If the CPU LED illuminates solid red, there was a critical failure. For more
information about the LED indications and troubleshooting, refer to
additional help, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to

Caution: The C2G124-48P and C2H124-48P are PoE-compliant devices. Do not connect
a SecureStack C2 Redundant Power System (C2RPS-SYS) to the power connector.
Otherwise damage to the device may result.
Precaución: Los dispositivos C2G124-48P y C2H124-48P cumplen con el estándar PoE
(power over ethernet). No conecte una fuente de poder redundante SecureStack C2
(C2RPS-SYS) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.
