Initializing the RackSwitch G8124
When you plug in the G8124 power cord, the switch initializes automatically.
The following LEDs indicate the overall system status:
Power Supply = Solid Green if both power cords are connected, blinking green if only one
power cord is connected
Fan = Solid Green if all fans are running, blinking green if there is a fan failure
Use the mini-USB console cable to connect the RS-232 serial port on the switch unit’s front panel to
a terminal or a PC running a terminal emulation program. You can access the command-line
interface to perform initial configuration tasks.
The console port’s terminal-emulation requirements are as follows:
Default baud rate = 9,600 bps
Character size = 8 characters
Parity = none
Stop bits = 1
Data bits = 8
Flow control = none
Caution—
The G8124 does not have a power switch. When you connect the switch to a suitable
power source, the switch powers up immediately.
Disconnecting the switch from the power source is the only way to power down the G8124. Always
provide the power source in a location that is quickly and safely accessible.
