Connecting AC Power

DANGER

Remove both power cords before servicing.

To connect the switch to an AC power source:

1. First verify that the external AC power supply can provide 100 to 240 VAC, 50-60 Hz, 0.8 A

minimum.

2. Plug the power cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.

NOTE

For international use, you may need to change the AC line cord. You must use a line cord set that

has been approved for the socket type in your country.

3. Insert the plug on the other end of the power cable directly into the socket on the switch.

4. Check that the Power LED indicator on the switch is on. If not, recheck the power supply and

power cable connections at the supply source and at the switch.

5. To disconnect AC power from the switch, remove the plugs from the AC sockets on the left side

of the front panel.

Connecting to the Console Port

This port is used to connect a console device to the switch through a serial cable. The console

device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a VT-100 terminal. A

crossover RJ-45 to DB-9 cable is supplied with the unit for connecting to the console port, as

illustrated below. The pin assignments used to connect to the serial port are described below.
