Installing the Switch 208/224

Installation Steps

5. Connect the Switch to a Power Source

1.(Optional.) This product supports use of the HP J2962A Redundant Power Supply (RPS), which can help ensure continuous switch operation in the event of a power failure. If you have this HP RPS, connect the RPS to the switch now and connect the RPS to an appropriate AC power source.

C a u t i o n	When installed, the RPS is used in place of the standard power cord, so make
	sure you disconnect the standard power cord from the switch before you
	connect the RPS. Using both the standard power cord and the RPS at the same
	time could damage the switch’s components.

3.Re-check the LEDs during self test. Initially, all LEDs are on. After the four-second self test (or 15 second self test with Management Module), only the Power and port A “100” LEDs (and optionally the RPS LED) are on. See “LED Behavior” on page 7.
