1.2.1.1 Power Cord Specifications

A power cord is not supplied with the device. Use only a correctly rated power cord that is certified, as
appropriate, for the country of operation

1.2.1.2 Power Protection

To best protect the WS5000 series switch from unexpected power surges or other power-related problems,
ensure that the system installation meets the following power protection guidelines.
• If possible, use a circuit that is dedicated to data processing equipment. Commercial electrical
contractors are familiar with wiring for data processing equipment and can help with the load balancing
of these circuits.
• Install surge protection. Be sure to use a surge protection device between the electricity source and the
WS5000 Series Switch.
• Install an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). A UPS provides continuous power during a power outage.
Some UPS devices have integral surge protection. UPS equipment requires periodic maintenance to
ensure reliability. A UPS of the proper capacity for the data processing equipment must be purchased.

1.2.1.3 Cabling Requirements

Two Category 6 Ethernet cables (not supplied) are required to connect the switch to the LAN and the WLAN.
The cables are used with the two Ethernet ports on the front panel of the device.
The console cable that comes with the switch is used to connect the switch to a computer running a serial
terminal emulator program to access the switch's Command Line Interface (CLI) for initial configuration. Initial
configuration steps are described in the WS5000 Series Switch Installation Guide.

1.2.2 System Status LED Codes

A WS5000 Series Switch has two LEDs on the front panel, adjacent to the RJ45 ports. The System Status LEDs
display three colors—blue, amber, or red —and three "lit" states—solid, blinking, or off.
