Connecting AC and PoE Power

C2RPS-PoE Redundant Power System

If you are connecting an optional PoE redundant power supply (C2RPS‐POE), refer to the
installation instructions supplied with the SecureStack C2RPS‐POE. The switch is
connected to a C2RPS‐POE using a C2RPS‐POE Cable.
If you are installing the switch as a standalone device, proceed to "Connecting to Console
Port for Local Management" on page 3‐17. If you are installing switches in a stack
configuration, proceed to "Stack Initialization Overview" on page 3‐16.

Stack Initialization Overview

When you install and connect all the high‐speed stacking cables to the switches in the
stack before applying power to the switches, the following occurs:
• The switch that will manage (Manager) the stack is automatically established with all
other switches established as Member switches in the stack. When the switches
complete their initializations, one of the switches in the stack will illuminate its
Manager LED, indicating that it is the stack Manager. The Manager LED on each
Member switch will be off.
• The hierarchy of the switches that will function as backup Manager is also determined
in case the current Manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from
the stack.
• The Console port on each Member switch is deactivated. Only the Console port on the
Manager switch is active for out‐of band configuration to set the IP address,
password, and other configuration settings.
Once you know which switch is the Manager, proceed to "Connecting to Console Port for
Local Management" on page 3‐17.
3-16 Hardware Installation
Caution: The C2RPS-POE power supply does not support non-PoE compliant
SecureStack C2 switches. Do not try to connect the power cable from this C2RPS-POE
power supply to any SecureStack C2 switch that does not have a "P" suffix in the model
name. (Example: C2G124-24.) Otherwise, damage to the device may result.
Precaución: La fuente de poder C2RPS-POE no es compatible con switches
SecureStack C2 que no cumplan con el estándar PoE. No intente conectar el cable de
corriente de esta fuente de poder C2RPS-POE a ningún switch SecureStack C2 que no
tenga el sufijo "P" en el nombre del modelo. (Ejemplo: C2G124-24.) De lo contrario, el
dispositivo puede dañarse.
