Connecting AC and PoE Power
3.Observe the power CPU LED (not shown) located on the front panel. During the initialization, the CPU LED will start by illuminating solid amber, then start blinking green, then blinking amber, then blinking green again until the end of the initialization, and then turns solid green.
Note: If the CPU LED illuminates solid red, there was a critical failure. For more information about the LED indications and troubleshooting, refer to Chapter 4. If you need additional help, contact Enterasys Networks. Refer to “Getting Help” on page
If the switch is a standalone unit, it will take approximately 30 seconds for the switch to start up. If the switch is a stack Manager, it can take up to 3 minutes or more to start up, depending on the number of Member switches in the stack.
PoE Power
If you are installing an optional SecureStack C2 PoE redundant power supply (C2RPS‐ POE), refer to the installation instructions supplied with the C2RPS‐POE. The switch is connected to a C2RPS‐POE using a C2RPS‐POE Cable.

If you are installing the switch as a standalone device, proceed to “Connecting to Console Port for Local Management” on page 3‐17. If you are installing switches in a stack configuration, proceed to “Stack Initialization Overview” on page 3‐16.
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.
