Providing power to the device
After you complete the physical installation, you can power on the system.
1. Install alternating-current (AC) or direct-current (DC) power supplies in the switch. Refer to
Supplies
2. Connect AC or DC power cables to the power supply connectors on the rear panel.
3. Connect the power cables to the 100-240 VAC or 48-60 VDC power source. The power sources
should be on separate circuits to protect against power failure. Ensure that the power cords have a
minimum service loop of 6 inches available and are routed to avoid stress.
4. After the device has booted, verify that the power and status LEDs are green. The power supply
LEDs display amber until power-on self-test (POST) is complete, and then change to green. The
switch usually requires several minutes to boot and complete POST.
For more information about how to interpret LEDs and run diagnostics tests, refer to
page 75 section.

interface, power supply, and fan modules display a steady green light.
2. Connect the RJ-45 serial cable provided with the device to the management Ethernet port of the
device.
