Powering On the Switch
Before connecting the AC power cord, a DC-input power source, or the
Redundant Power System (RPS) to the switch, make sure that you have started the
terminal-emulation software (such as ProComm, HyperTerminal, tip, or minicom)
from your management station.
If you are using the AC power cord, connect the AC power cord to the AC power
connector and to an AC power outlet.
If you are using the DC-input power source, see the “Connecting to DC Power”
section for installation instructions.
If you are using an RPS, refer to the documentation that came with your RPS for
installation instructions.
Warning
Attach only the Cisco RPS 300 (model PWR300-AC-RPS-N1) to the RPS
receptacle.
For POST information, see the “Running POST” section on page 2-32.
