Connecting the power cord
CAUTION:
Before powering on the switch, you must connect the power cord and make sure the switch is well
grounded.
Follow these steps to connect an AC power cord:
Step1 Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, and make sure the wrist strap makes good skin contact and is well
grounded.
Step2 Install the bail latch. Fix the bail latch into the holes located at the two sides of the AC power receptacle.
Then pull the bail latch upwards, as shown in Figure 14.
Step3 Insert the plug of the AC power cord into the AC power receptacle (see callout 1 in Figure 15).
Step4 Pull the bail latch down to secure the plug to the AC receptacle (see callout 2 in Figure 15).
Step5 Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the AC power source.
Step6 Check the power LED (PWR) on the front panel. If the LED is on, the power cord is properly connected.
