Step 2

Use the supplied switch power cable to connect the switch to an AC power source.

Before proceeding to the next step, wait until the SYSTEM LED stops blinking green and becomes solid green. A solid green SYSTEM LED means that the switch is operating properly.

The ADMIN LED should be blinking green. A blinking green ADMIN LED means that the switch does not have an IP address yet.

Troubleshooting:

If the SYSTEM LED does not blink green, does not turn solid green, or turns amber, contact your Cisco representative or reseller. The switch failed the power-on self-test (POST).
