Powering-up the Switch

Connect the power cord to the IEC socket on the
1
rear of the Switch, and to your mains socket.
The Switch has no ON/OFF switch; the only method
of connecting or disconnecting mains power is
through the power cord.
The Switch enters a Power On Self Test (POST). The
2
time taken for the test to complete is dependent
on the type of POST configured (refer to
Management Setup"
to configure the type of POST). For a new Switch
that is being installed for the first time, power-up
takes approximately 18 seconds.
Check the status LEDs to ensure the Switch is oper-
3
ating correctly (refer to
S
ETUP
"Switch
on page 3-9 for details of how
"LEDs" on page 1-8).
Connecting an Advanced Redundant Power
System (Advanced RPS)
You can connect a SuperStack II Advanced RPS to
an RPS socket on the Switch.
At +5V, the current requirement for the Switch is
9A, excluding any Plug-in Module that may be fit-
ted. Check the documentation supplied with your
Plug-in Module for power consumption figures. For
most configurations, you only need a SuperStack II
Advanced RPS with one Advanced RPS 100W Mod-
ule.
CAUTION: The Switch can only use an Advanced
RPS output; the standard RPS has a maximum
capacity of 8.5A.
If the RPS is used incorrectly, its Output Fault LED
lights yellow.
You should check the documentation supplied with
the Advanced RPS to see if the outputs can be
used in parallel.
