switch rear panel. See
Figure C-2 .
Step 2
Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.
Note If you are connecting the switch to a Cisco redundant power system (RPS), refer
to the documentation that shipped with your RPS.
As the switch powers on, it begins POST, a series of tests that run automatically
to ensure that the switch functions properly. If POST fails, see
Chapter 4,
“Troubleshooting,” to determine a course of action.
If you started the terminal emulation program before you powered on your switch,
the PC or terminal displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press
Enter to
display the setup program prompt.
