• The rack must be close enough to the dedicated power source so that you can connect the switch to the
power source by using a designated power cables.
• You have the designated power cables for the power supplies that you are connecting to the dedicated
power sources.
Depending on the outlet receptacle on your AC power distribution unit, you might
need an optional jumper power cord to connect the switch to your outlet receptacle.
Note
• The switch is not connected to the network (this includes any management or interface connections).
• The fan and power supply modules are fully secured in their chassis slots.
All of the fan slots must be filled with fan modules and the power supply slots must be filled with the
same types of power supplies (do not mix AC and DC power supplies).
Step 1 For each AC power supply, do the following:
a) Using the recommended AC power cable for your country or region, connect one end to the AC power supply.
b) Connect the other end of the power cable to the AC power source.
Step 2 Verify that the power supply LED is on and green.
Step 3 Listen for the fans; they should begin operating when the power supply is powered.
Step 4 After the switch boots, verify that the following LEDs are lit:
• On the fan modules, the Status (STA or STS) LED is green.
If a fan module Status LED is not green, try reinstalling the fan module.
• After initialization, the switch chassis Status (labeled as STA or STS) LED is green.
Step 5 Verify that the system software has booted and the switch has initialized without error messages.
Note
A setup utility automatically launches the first time that you access the switch and guides you through the basic
configuration. For instructions on how to configure the switch and check module connectivity, see the appropriate Cisco
Nexus configuration guide.
