Verify that the chassis ground is correctly connected to the earth ground.
2.
Install the bail latch onto the switch and pivot the bail latch up.
3.
Plug one end of the power cord to the AC power receptacle on the rear panel of the chassis and
plug the other end to the AC power source.
4.
Place the bail latch over the AC power cord to secure the plug in place.

Check the system LED (PWR) on the front panel of the switch. If the LED is on, the AC power input
is normal.
NOTE:
The bail latch prevents the power cord from accidentally falling off.
Connecting the switch to an RPS

To connect the switch to an RPS:
1.
Check that the switch is powered off and the RPS is switched off.
2.
Use a Philips screwdriver to remove the screws on the cover on the DC power receptacle and take
off the cover.
3.
Connect the RPS power cord to the DC power receptacle on the chassis.
