Caution: To prevent damaging the switch, DO NOT connect a Power over Ethernet-compliant Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the redundant power supply connector. The switch is only compatible with the SecureStack C2RPS-SYS redundant power supply system.

Precaución: No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack PoE (C2RPS-POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.

If you are installing the switch as a standalone switch, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐20. If you are installing switches in a stack configuration, apply power to each switch in order, according to the procedure you use in “Configuring Switches in a Stack” on page 3‐13.
