Installing a Switch

WARNUNG!!

Dieses Produkt wird mit einem 3-adrigen Netzkabel mit Stecker geliefert. Dieses Kabel erfüllt die Sicherheitsanforderungen und sollte an einer vorschriftsmäß igen Schukosteckdose angeschlossen werden, um die Gefahr eines elektrischen Schlages zu vermeiden.Elektrosteckdosen, die nicht richtig verdrahtet sind, können gefährliche Hochspannung an den Metallteilen des Switch-Gehäuses verursachen. Der Kunde trägt die Verantwortung für eine vorschriftsmäß ige Verdrahtung und Erdung der Steckdose zur Vermeidung eines elektrischen Schlages.

In manchen Ländern ist eventuell die Verwendung eines anderen Kabels erforderlich, da der Stecker des mitgelieferten Kabels nicht in die landesüblichen Steckdosen paß t. In diesem Fall müssen Sie sich ein Kabel besorgen, daß die folgenden Anforderungen erfüllt:

Für 125 Volt-Netze: 10 Ampere Kabel mit UL- und

CSA-Zulassung.

Für 250 Volt-Netze: 10 Ampere Kabel gemäß den Anforderungen der H05VV-F und VDE-, SEMKO- und DEMKO-Zulassung.

To energize the switch, connect the power cord to the AC power receptacle on the front of the switch chassis and to a grounded AC outlet. The switch responds in the following sequence:

1.The chassis LEDs (Fan Fail, Over Temperature, Heartbeat, Input Power) illuminate followed by all port Logged-In LEDs.

2.After a couple seconds, the Over Temperature, Fan Fail, and Heartbeat LEDs are extinguished while the Input Power LED remains illuminated.

3.After approximately one minute, the POST executes and all LEDs illuminate.

4.When the POST is complete, all LEDs are extinguished except the Input Power LED and the Heartbeat LED:

■The Input Power LED remains illuminated indicating that the switch logic circuitry is receiving DC voltage. If not, contact your authorized maintenance provider.

■The Heartbeat LED indicates the results of the POST. The POST tests the condition of firmware, memories, data-paths, and switch logic circuitry. If the Heartbeat LED blinks steadily about once per second, the POST was successful, and you can continue with the installation process. Any other blink pattern indicates that an error has occurred. Refer to ”Heartbeat LED Blink Patterns” on page 5-1for more information about error blink patterns.
