After configuring the master and member switches for stacking and
cabling the trunk ports, you are ready to power on the stack for the first
time. (If you want to monitor the power-on sequence, connect a terminal or
PC with a terminal emulator program to the Console port on any of the
switches).
To power on the stack for the first time, perform the following procedure:
1. Verify that all switches are powered off.
2. If you have not already cabled the trunk ports, do so now. Refer to
Chapter 11, "Cabling the Networking Ports" on page 171.
3. Power on all the switches at the same time.
Connect the power cords to an appropriate AC power source. Refer to
Figure 75 on page 138.
Refer to "Power Specifications" on page 209 for the power
specifications of the switches.
