Connecting AC and PoE Power
PoE Redundant Power System
If you are connecting an optional PoE redundant power supply (C2RPS‐POE), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the SecureStack C2RPS‐POE. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐POE using a C2RPS‐POE cable.

If you are installing the switch as a standalone device, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐18. If you are installing switches in a stack configuration, proceed to “Stack Manager Selection” on page 3‐17.
Stack Manager Selection
When you install and connect all the high‐speed stacking cables to the switches in the stack before applying power to the switches, the following occurs:
•The switch that will manage (Manager) the stack is automatically established with all other switches established as Member switches in the stack. When the switches complete their initializations, one of the switches in the stack will illuminate its Manager LED, indicating that it is the stack Manager. The Manager LED on each Member switch will be off.
•The hierarchy of the switches that will function as backup Manager is also determined in case the current Manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack.
•The Console port on each Member switch is deactivated. Only the Console port on the Manager switch is active for out‐of band configuration to set the IP address, password, and other configuration settings.
Once you know which switch is the Manager, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐18.
