Starting the Switch
This section provides instructions for powering up the Cisco Nexus 5600 switch and verifying the
component installation.
Note Do not connect the Ethernet port to the LAN until the initial switch configuration has been performed.
For instructions on configuring the switch, see the Cisco Nexus 5600 Series CLI Configuration Guide.
For instructions on connecting to the console port, see the “Connecting to the Console Port” section on
page 3-2.
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and
disconnected last.
Statement 1046
To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that empty power supply slots have filler panels installed, the faceplates of all modules are flush
with the front of the chassis, and the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all expansion
modules are tight.
Step 2 Verify that the power supply and the fan modules are installed.
Note Depending on the outlet receptacle on your power distribution unit, you may need the optional
jumper power cord to connect the switch to your outlet receptacle. See the “Jumper Power Cord”
section on page C-8.
Step 3 Ensure that the switch is adequately grounded as described in the “Grounding the Switch” section on
page 2-8, and that the power cables are connected to outlets that have the required AC power voltages
(see the “Power Specifications” section on page B-3).
Step 4 For the switch, insert each end of the power clip (from the accessory kit) into holes on tabs located on
either side of the power connectors.
Step 5 Connect each power cable to the power connectors on the chassis and an AC power source. Press the
power cable into the power clip to endure that the power cable stays connected to the chassis when
bumped. The switch should power on as soon as you connect the power cable.
Step 6 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when the power cable is plugged in.
