Connecting Ac Power To A J-Ex8200 Switch - Dell PowerConnect J-EX8216 Hardware Manual

Connecting AC Power to a J-EX8200 Switch

J-EX8200 switches can be configured with up to six AC power supplies. After you have
installed at least one power supply, you can connect power to the switch.
CAUTION: Mixing different types of power supplies in the same chassis is
not a supported configuration.
NOTE: Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated AC power
source outlet.
Before you begin to connect power to the switch:
Ensure you understand how to prevent ESD damage. See "Prevention of Electrostatic
Discharge Damage on J-EX Series Switches" on page 230.
Ensure that you have connected the switch chassis to earth ground.
CAUTION: To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
requirements and to ensure proper operation, J-EX8200 switches must be
adequately grounded before they are connected to power.
For installations that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis,
use the protective earthing terminal on the J-EX8200 switch chassis to
connect to the earth ground. For instructions on connecting a J-EX8200
switch to ground using a separate grounding conductor, see "Connecting
Earth Ground to a J-EX Series Switch" on page 129.
A J-EX8200 switch gets additional grounding when you plug the power
supply in the switch into a grounded AC power outlet by using the AC jumper
cord or the separately orderable AC power cord appropriate for your
geographical location. See "AC Power Cord Specifications for a J-EX8200
Switch" on page 83.
Install power supplies in the switch. See "Installing an AC Power Supply in a J-EX8200
Switch" on page 114.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to connect power to the
switch:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap
AC jumper cords or separately orderable AC power cords appropriate for your
geographical location. See "AC Power Cord Specifications for a J-EX8200 Switch" on
page 83.
