Power On the Switch
Caution
Remove the protective liner before applying power to the switch.
Failure to remove the protective liner could result in thermal damage to the
switch.
Locate the circuit breaker on the panel board that services the DC circuit, and
switch the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Running POST
After the power is connected, the switch automatically begins POST, a series of
tests that verifies that the switch functions properly.
Note
The uplink port status LEDs provide system and status information during POST.
On the Catalyst 2955C-12 and 2955S-12, the uplink ports are labeled 13 and 14.
On the Catalyst 2955T-12, the uplink ports are labeled 1 and 2.
Warning
If you connect or disconnect the console cable with power applied to the
switch or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could
cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is
removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.
To verify switch operation, perform POST on the switch in a nonhazardous
location before installation.
