2. If your power source is AC, attach one end of a Dell-supplied AC power cord to the AC power supply as described
in “Connecting AC power” on page 22.
Insert the other end into a 115V or 120V wall outlet. Repeat this step for each installed AC power supply.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
If the wall outlet is not rated 115/120V and 20A, you must have an electrician rewire the outlet and
power source. Make sure you obtain a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines
the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be
used safely with the device.
The PowerConnect B-RX Series switch is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or
remove the management modules and the interface modules. Therefore, the system does not have a separate
on/off power switch. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cords.
The wall outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
3. If you are supplying a DC power source to a PowerConnect B-RX Series chassis, attach the power cables to the
DC power supply as described in “Connecting DC power” on page 23.
Connect the other end of the cables to the DC power source. Repeat this step for each installed DC power
supply. Then switch on the power source.
4. Verify that the PowerConnect B-RX Series switch has initialized successfully. For information, refer to “Verifying
proper operation” on page 26.
