Verify that the switch boots correctly
Before installing the switch in its network location, plug it into a power source and verify that it boots
correctly.
1. Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector on the back of the
switch. Then, plug the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
The switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on when the power cord is connected to the switch
and to a power source. For safety, locate the power outlet near the switch installation.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the switch, be sure to use a power
cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country/region.
The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.
2. Check the LEDs on the switch to make sure the switch is on and operating.
When the switch is powered on, it performs its diagnostic self-test and initialization. This boot process,
depending on switch model and configuration, takes approximately 1-2 minutes to complete.
