The serial port connector requires a null-modem F/F DB9 cable. The pins on the 
switch RS-232 connector are shown in Figure 2-8 and identified in Table2-1. 
Refer to ”Connect the Management Workstation to the Switch” on page4-8 for 
information about connecting the management workstation through the serial port.

Power SuppliesThe power supplies convert standard 110 or 230 VAC to DC voltages for the 
various switch circuits. Each power supply has an AC power receptacle, an On/Off 
switch, and two status LEDs as shown in Figure 2-9. After connecting a power 
supply to an AC voltage source and placing the power switch in the On position, 
the power supply is energized and DC voltage is delivered to the switch logic 
circuitry. Refer to Section6 Removal/Replacement for information about replacing 
a power supply.
