Powering Up the 7100G-Series Switch

To connect the 7100G-Series switch to the power sources:
1. Plug a power cord into each power supply's AC power receptacle.
2. Plug the cord into a dedicated grounded AC outlet.
In the case of a two power supply configuration, to take advantage of redundancy capabilities,
plug each power cord into a separate dedicated AC outlet.
The system PWR LED, located on the switch I/O port panel, turns ON (green) and the CPU LED
turns red until the 7100G-Series switch completes its initialization. See
the PWR and CPU LED locations. It takes under 30 seconds for the 7100G-Series switch to boot up.
When the initialization process is successful, the CPU LED turns green. If the CPU LED does not
turn green, refer to

Installing the Power Cord Retention Clip Assembly

The 7100G-Series switch comes with two optional power cord retention clip assemblies. Power
cord retention clips provide added security against the inadvertent removal of the power cord
from the the power supply AC receptacle.
