Connecting to a Power Source
Follow these steps to connect to an AC power source:
Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on a switch rear panel. See
Step 1
Figure
Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
Step 2
Follow these steps to connect to an DC power source. For detailed instructions for connecting to
DC power, see
Connect one end of the supplied DC power cord to the power connector on a switch rear panel. See
Step 1
Figure
Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded DC outlet.
Step 2
When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the power-on self test (POST), a series of tests that
verifies that the switch functions properly. When the switch begins POST, the system LED slowly blinks
green. When POST completes, the system LED blinks amber. If POST fails, the system LED remains
amber. If POST completes successfully, the system LED rapidly blinks green.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.
Note
If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal
displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.
