At least one power supply must connect to a power source.
To connect the switch to a power source:
1
Connect one end of the AC power cord to an AC power connector.

The switch has no power button. Once an AC power cord is connected to a power outlet,
the switch power is turned on. The Power LED lights green. For details, refer to
LEDs".
