2.Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket, AC power source.
Note: For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved for the receptacle type in your country.
3.Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure the PWR LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is correctly plugged in.
Connecting to the Console Port
The DB-9 serial port on the switch’s front panel is used to connect to the switch for out-of-band console configuration. The command-line configuration program can be accessed from a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are provided in the following table.
