Connecting a Switch to a Power Supply
CAUTION: Read the safety information in the Product Information Guide as well as the safety
information for other switches that connect to or support the switch.
The PowerConnect 8024 and 8024F switches have two power supplies for redundant or load-
sharing operation. Each power supply can support 300W.
Figure 2 illustrates the location of the
two power receptacles on the rear panel.
1
Connect one of the supplied AC power cables to one of the AC power connectors located on
the rear panel.
2
To provide a redundant source of power, connect the second supplied AC power cable to the
other AC power connector located on the rear panel.
NOTE: Do not connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet at this time. Connect the switch to a
power source as described in the step detailed in "Starting and Configuring the Switch".
