Apply power to the switch and log in

Once a serial connection is established, apply power to the switch:

1.Connect the power cord to a power inlet on the switch and a power source, as shown in Figure 21.

NOTE:

The 4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switch models use two power cords.

The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches use one power cord.

Figure 21 Connecting the power cord

NOTE:

To protect against AC failure on the 4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switch models, connect each power cord to outlets on separate circuits. Verify that the cords have a minimum service loop of 6-inches to avoid stress.

2. To power on, set the two AC switches to the ON position (I).

IMPORTANT:

The 4/8 and 4/16 SAN Switches utilize one power switch. The 4/32, 4/32B and 4/64 SAN Switches utilize two power switches.

The power supply LED lights green and the switch runs the power-on self test (POST). The switch requires at least three minutes to boot and complete POST.

3. After POST and the boot process are completed, verify that the System Status and System Power LEDs light green.
