Chapter 2 Switch Installation
Verifying Switch Operation
Attach the Power and Relay Connector to the Switch
To attach the power and relay connectors to the front panel of the switch, follow these steps:
Step 1
Insert the power and relay connector into the Pwr A receptacle on the switch front panel. See
Figure 2-17
Connecting the Power and Relay Connector to the Switch
Step 2
Use a racheting torque flathead screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on the sides of the power and
relay connector.
When you are testing the switch, one power source is sufficient. If you are installing the switch and are
using a second power source, repeat this procedure for the second power and relay connector (Pwr B),
which installs just below the primary power connector (Pwr A).
When you are installing the switch, secure the wires coming from the power and relay connector so that
they cannot be disturbed by casual contact. For example, use tie wraps to secure the wires to the rack.
Attaching DC Power to the PoE Expansion Modules
If your switch configuration includes either the IEM-3000-4PC or the IEM-3000-4PC-4TC PoE
expansion modules, you must attach source DC directly to the expansion module’s Input DC terminal
block. Source DC can come from either the PWR-IE65W-PC-DC, a DC-input power supply, the
PWR-IE65W-PC-AC, an AC-input power supply, or from site source DC; however, site source power
voltage must be 48–54VDC.
