Check the Installation
Before you apply power, perform the following checks:
1. Inspect the equipment thoroughly.
2. Verify that all cables are installed correctly.
3. Check cable routing to ensure that cables are not damaged and do not create a safety
hazard.
4. Be sure that all equipment is mounted properly and securely.
Connect to Power and Check the LEDs
The switch does not have an On/Off switch. The only way to apply or remove power is to
connect or disconnect the power cord. Before you connect the power cord, select an AC
outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch (which can turn off power to the switch).
After you select an appropriate outlet, follow these steps to apply AC power:
1. Connect one end of the AC power adapter cable to the rear of the switch, and the other
end to a grounded three-prong AC outlet.
2. Check the Power LED on the front panel of the switch. The LED lights up in the following
sequence:
• The LED turns yellow as the switch runs a power-on self-test (POST).
• If the switch passes the test, the LED turns green. The switch is working and ready to
pass data.
• If the POST fails, the Power LED blinks yellow.
If the Power LED does not light up, check that the power cable is plugged in correctly and
that the power source is good. For help with troubleshooting, see
Chapter 3,Troubleshooting on page 22.”
