Remove the protective liner before applying power to the switch.
Failure to remove the protective liner could result in thermal damage to the
switch.
To apply power to a switch that is directly connected to a DC power source, locate
the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, and switch the
circuit breaker to the ON position.
For instructions on how to apply power to a switch that is connected to a power
converter, see the
"Applying Power to the Power Converter" section on page
After the power is connected, the switch automatically begins POST, a series of
