If your configuration has an RPS, connect the switch and the RPS to the same AC
power source. See the
Cisco RPS documentation for more information.
Always put the RPS in standby mode when you are connecting devices to it and
in active mode during normal operation.
To power on the switch, follow these steps:
Make sure that you have started the terminal emulation software program (such as
ProComm, HyperTerminal, tip, or minicom) from your management station. See the
"Connecting a PC or Terminal to the Console Port" section on page 3-10
information on connecting to the switch console port.
Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch.
