Powering On the Switch

This section contains the procedure for powering on the switch.
Note
The switch can update its release or configuration file from a USB
flash drive during the initial power up of the unit. This is called the
Autoboot feature. Using the Autoboot feature is optional. It is only
available during the initial power up of the unit. To use the feature,
insert a USB flash drive with the appropriate files into the USB port
on the switch before powering on the unit. For more information on
the feature, refer to the Software Reference for the IE300 Series
Switches.
For power supply requirements, refer to "Power Supplies" on page 48. To
power on the chassis, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify that the DC power supply is powered off. If there are two DC
power supplies, verify that both units are powered off.
2. Connect the power cable to the PWR 1 - PWR 2 connector on the top
panel. Refer to Figure 47.
