Powering On the Switch and Running POST
Figure 2-16 Mounting a Modular Switch to a Wall
After the switch is mounted on the wall, power the switch as described in
“Powering On the Switch and Running POST” section on page 2-25
.
Powering On the Switch and Running POST
To power on the switch after you install it, follow these steps:
Step 1
Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC power connector on the switch.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the power cord to an AC power outlet.
As the switch powers on, it begins POST, a series of eight tests that run
automatically to ensure that the switch functions properly. When the switch
begins POST, the port LEDs turn amber for 2 seconds, and then they turn green.
