The Power-up Sequence The following sections descr ibe how to get your Switch 3300 MM
powered-up and ready for operation.
Connecting a
Redundant Power
System
You can connect a SuperStack Advanced Redundant Power System (part
number 3C16071B) to the Switch. Thi s unit, which is also known as an
ARPS, is designed to maintain the power to your Swi t ch if a power supply
failure occurs.
For normal redundancy, the unit requires one Type 2A Power Module. For
full redundancy, the unit requires two Type 2A Power Modules combined
using a Type 2 Y-Cable.
Check with your supplier that you have the correct Power Modules and
cables for your ARPS unit.
CAUTION:The Sw itch can only use a SuperStack Advance d Redundant
Power System output.

connecting or disconnecting main pow er is by connecting or
disconnecting the power cord.

The Switch powers-up and runs through its Power O n Self Test (POST),
which takes approximately 12 seconds.
