Step2 Insert one end of the AC power cord to the AC power receptacle on the rear panel of the chassis, as shown in Figure
Step3 Connect the other end of the power cord to a power source.
Step4 Check whether the power LED on the front panel of the switch is ON. If the LED is ON, it shows the power cord is properly connected.
