Caution: To prevent damaging the switch, ONLY connect a Power over
Ethernet-compliant Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the redundant power
supply connector. The switch is only compatible with the SecureStack C2RPS-POE
redundant power supply system.
Precaución: Conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack PoE (C2RPS-
POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.
Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all stacking cables are
connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically
designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active. All other
switches will become Member switches and their Console ports will be deactivated.
