Connecting AC and
C2RPS-SYS Redundant Power System
If you are installing an optional redundant power system (C2RPS‐SYS), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the SecureStack RPS. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐PSM using a C2RPS‐PSM Cable.
Caution: To prevent damaging the switch, DO NOTconnect a Power over
Precaución: No conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack C2 PoE
If you are installing the switch as a standalone switch, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐18. 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 3‐12.
Stack Initialization Overview
When you install and connect all the high‐speed stacking cables to the switches in the stack before applying power to the switches, the following occurs:
•The switch that will manage (Manager) the stack is automatically established with all other switches established as Member switches in the stack. When the switches complete their initializations, one of the switches in the stack will illuminate its Manager LED, indicating that it is the stack Manager. The Manager LED on each Member switch will be off.
•The hierarchy of the switches that will function as backup Manager is also determined in case the current Manager malfunctions, is powered down, or is disconnected from the stack.
•The Console port on each Member switch is deactivated. Only the Console port on the Manager switch is active for out‐of band configuration to set the IP address, password, and other configuration settings.
Once you know which switch is the Manager, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐18.
