Chapter 2 Installing the Cisco SFS 7000P Switch

Configuring Basic Connectivity

Powering Up the Chassis

When you power up the chassis, use only the power cable provided with your InfiniBand system.

To power up the chassis, follow these steps:

Step 1 Remove the power cords from the shipping package.

Two power cords are available: UL-rated, 10 amps and 125 VAC or greater.

Step 2 Inspect the power cord and determine if it provides the proper plug and is appropriately certified for use with your electrical system. Discard the cord if it is inappropriate for your national electrical system and obtain the proper cord, as required by your national electrical codes or ordinances.

Grounding is supplied by the ground prong on the three-prong power plug. Do not attach a separate ground cable and do not use adapter plugs. Do not remove the ground prong from the cable. Be sure that the ground connection on the power supply is correct and functioning before applying power to the switch.

Step 3 Connect the power cords to the power connectors on the rear of the switch.

The system will automatically boot up. You can watch the operation status by using the serial console.

For power connector locations, see Figure 2-1.

Step 4 Connect the other end of each AC power cable into a 90 to 264VAC power outlet operating at 47 to 63Hz.

The switch automatically starts and boots up. Use the correct external power source. Attach the switch only to approved power sources, as indicated by the electrical ratings label. If you are unsure of the correct power-source to use, contact your support personnel or your local power company.
