If you have ordered one or two additional Gigabit Ethernet modules for
your SuperStack II Switch 3900 system, you are now ready to install the
modules.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage components on a
module, causing complete or intermittent failures. ESD damage occurs
when the module is improperly handled. When handling modules, be
sure to read and follow the ESD safety information provided in the
Module Installation Guide.
For installation instructions, see the 1000BASE-SX/1000BASE-LX Gigabit
Ethernet Module Installation Guide that is shipped with the module.
Cable your system for connecting these elements to your network:
10/100BASE-T connectors (3900 only)
1000BASE-SX or LX connectors (3900 and 9300)
10BASE-T out-of-band port connector (9300 only)
Console port (3900 and 9300)
For information on cabling ports, see Chapter 3 in the Getting Started
Guide for your system.
Place the system near an easily accessible power outlet because the only
way that you can power the system up or down is to insert or remove the
power cord from the power source. To get your system powered up and
ready to operate:
1 For the Switch 3900, verify that each unused slot is covered with a blank
faceplate.
To view possible error messages in the Administration Console while the
system is running power-up diagnostics, connect a terminal, workstation,
or PC with terminal emulation software to the system's Console port.
2 On the back panel of either the Switch 3900 or the Switch 9300, plug the
power cord into the power receptacle.
CAUTION: To prevent a possible fire hazard, be sure to fully insert the
power cord.
3 Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.
