Appendix D
Configuring the Switch with the CLI-Based Setup Program
Connecting to a Power Source
Follow these steps to connect to a power source:
Connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power connector on a switch rear panel. See
Step 1
Figure
Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
Step 2
(Optional) If you have a stack, power on all the switches in the stack.
Step 3
Note
Note
If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), see the documentation that
shipped with your RPS.
As the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that runs automatically
to ensure that the switch functions properly. POST lasts approximately 1 minute.
When the switch begins POST, the System, the RPS, the Master, the Status, the Duplex, the Speed, and
the Stack LEDs turn green. (On the Power over Ethernet [PoE] switches, the PoE LED also turns green
as POST begins.) The System LED flashes green, and the other LEDs remain continuous green.
When POST completes successfully, the System LED remains green. The RPS LED remains green for
some time and then returns to its operating status. The other LEDs turn off and return to their operating
status.
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.
Note
After you have powered all the switches in the stack, a switch is elected as the stack master. The master
LED is green on the stack master switch.
If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal
displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.
