2.4. Connecting Power
This section describes connecting power to the SG4300 Series. Only an AC power source is
supported by the product.
Power should not actually be switched on to the hardware until after the local console has been
connected as described in Section 2.3, “Console Port Connection”. The reason for this is that as
soon as power is applied the boot-up dialog sequence will appear on the console screen.
Important
Please read the advisory information concerning electrical safety in Appendix C,
Safety Precautions.
Connecting AC Power
To connect power, follow these steps:
1. Plug one end of the power adapter's power cord into the power receptacle on the back panel of
the SG4300 Series.
2. Plug the other end of the power cord into a grounded power outlet.
3. Power on the appliance using the On/Off switch at the back of the unit.
4. The SG4300 Series will boot up and CorePlus will start. After some minutes, the unit will be
ready for connection through either the Web Interface or through the CLI.
Important: Protecting Against Power Surges
It is strongly recommended that the purchase and use of a separate surge protection
unit from a third party is considered to ensure that the hardware is protected from
damage by electrical power surges. Surge protection is particularly important in
geographic locations where lightning strikes are more likely.
A surge protection unit should be installed exactly according to the manufacturer's
instructions since correct installation of such units is vital for them to be effective.
