3.1. Power
3.1.1. Installing Power
Power down and disconnect the power cord before servicing or wiring a
switch.
Do not disconnect modules or cabling unless the power is first switched off.
The device only supports the voltage outlined in the type plate. Do not use
any other power components except those specifically designated for the
switch.
Disconnect the power cord before installation or cable wiring.
The Gigabit Ethernet Smart-Lite switches are available with different power options
from an internal (72W) PSU to an external (150W) option and power adapters (5V
DC/1A). It is recommended to connect the switch with a single-phase three-wire
power source with a neutral outlet, or a multifunctional computer professional source.
Connect the AC power connector on the back panel of the switch to the external
power source with the included power cord, and check the power LED is on. The
following figure illustrates the power socket location on the rear side of a GS-7608
switch. See "1.4.1. Switch Views" on page 3 for power socket location on your
model.
