“Power Up” instructions the Switch 3900 system

A description of “Power-up Diagnostics”

A list of “System Checks” after power up

For information on troubleshooting the system during power up, see Chapter 6.

Power Options

You have three options for how to power up your Switch 3900 system.

Place the system near a power receptacle. You can power down the system only by removing the power cord from the power source.

AC Power Cord

You can connect the system directly to a wall receptacle with the AC power cord that is shipped with the system. See “Power Up” for details.

Optional Advanced Redundant Power System

To protect against internal power supply failures, you can connect a 3Com Advanced Redundant Power System Type 2 (RPS) to the Switch 3900 system. The RPS connector is located on the rear panel.

CAUTION: Connect only a 3Com Advanced Redundant Power System Type 2 to this connector, using the external Type 2 Y cable that is shipped with the RPS.

For details, follow the installation instructions and safety precautions that are shipped with the redundant power system.

Optional Uninterruptible Power System

To protect against external power interruption from brownouts, blackouts, surges, and spikes, connect an uninterruptible power system (UPS) to the Switch 3900 system. Connect only a 3Com Uninterruptible Power System. Use the appropriate UPS for your region:

United States

European/International

Japan

To install the UPS, follow the instructions and safety precautions that are shipped with the UPS.
