Verifying Switch Operation
Verifying Switch Operation
Before installing the switch in a rack, or on a desk, a shelf, or a wall, you should power on the switch
and verify that it passes POST.
To power on the switch, connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch,
and connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
You can power the Catalyst 2960PD-8TT-L switch through a 10/100/1000 uplink port, which can receive
power from an upstream PoE switch. You can also connect the switch to an AC power adapter on the rear
panel. See the
information.
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly. LEDs can blink during the test. POST lasts approximately 1 minute. When
the switch begins POST, the System, Status, Duplex, and Speed LEDs turn green. The System LED
blinks green, and the other LEDs remain solid green.
When the POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The other LEDs turn off and
then reflect the switch operating status. If a switch fails POST, the System LED turns amber.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical support representative if your switch fails POST.
After a successful POST, disconnect the power cord from the switch. Install the switch in a rack, or on
a desk, a shelf, or a wall, as described in the
