Attaching the PCI-E Cable and Power Cords
DANGER
Before powering on the switch, make sure all AC outlets to the switch are
properly grounded. Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit;
always check.
The power button powers up the switch or places the switch in sleep mode.
Sleep mode is accomplished by pressing and holding the power button for 5
seconds. To fully remove power from the system, you must unplug all 4 AC
power cords from wall outlets.
1. Attach the PCI-E cable.
2. Attach power cords to the DP power supplies. Attach one DP power
supply to one AC line feed and the second DP power supply to a
separate line feed. See
Figure 5.2 for the plug locations; the DP is
on the bottom.
3. Attach power cords to the CP power supplies. See Figure 5.2 for the
plug locations; the CP is on the top.
