1. Review installation precautions

2. Prepare the installation site

3. Install switch modules

4. Install a second power supply (optional)

5. Verify that the switch passes self test

6. Mount the switch

7. Install the grounding wire

9. Connect the network cables

8. Connect the switch to a power source

  1. Plug the included power cord into the switch’s power connector and into a nearby properly grounded AC power source.

    If a redundant power source is available, it is desirable to power one switch power supply from the regular AC source, and the other power supply from the independent AC source. This will provide redundancy in AC power to the switch, as long as the switch PoE power usage falls within the capability of one power supply. If both power supplies are plugged into a common AC source, there is still power supply redundancy, that is, protection against power supply failure, but if the AC source fails, the switch will lose all power.

  2. Re-check the LEDs during self test. See “LED behavior”.
