Tools and Equipment

You need to supply a number-2 Phillips screwdriver to rack-mount the switch.

Verifying Switch Operation

Before you install the switch, power it on and verify that it passes POST. See the getting started guide
for the steps required to connect a PC to the switch and to run Express Setup. To power on the switch,
connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch, and connect the other
end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
When the switch powers on, it automatically begins the 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.
Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.

Powering Off the Switch

After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, on a
wall, on a table, or on a shelf as described in the
