CH A P T E R 1 Intel Express 550F Routing Switch

 

Connecting the Power

Introduction

After connecting the devices to the switch, connect the power cable.

 

There are certain practical and safety considerations to be made be-

 

fore powering the switch on.

 

 

The Power Cable

 

Ground warning

The switch is delivered with a power cable that fits the power sockets

 

in your country. If this is not the case, contact your dealer immediate-

 

ly and ask for the correct power cable.

Power cable wiring color

The wires in the power cable provided are color coded:

Important for UK use

If the colors of the wires in the power cable provided do not corre-

 

spond with the markings that identify the terminals in your plug:

 

1 Make sure that the green and yellow wire is connected to the

 

terminal marked with the letter E, or with the ground symbol

 

, or is colored green and yellow.

 

2 Make sure that the blue wire is connected to the terminal

 

marked with the letter N or colored black.

 

3 Make sure that the brown wire is connected to the terminal

 

marked with the letter L or colored red.

Power supply to a rack

If the switch is installed in a rack, make sure the rack’s power supply

 

socket has a ground connection and the rack is connected to a branch

 

supply or a power supply socket with a ground connection.

To avoid overloading the circuit and damaging the wiring of the pow- er supply, the power supply to the rack must be adequate to cover the extra power consumed by the switch.
