Installing and Configuring the Switch

4.
Provide power to the switch by connecting the power cord to the switch power supply and to a
power outlet. Ensure the power cord is routed so that it is not exposed to stress. Power is
supplied to the switch as soon as the cord is connected. The switch runs POST (power on
self-test) by default each time it is turned on.
Note:
Do not connect the switch to the network until the IP address is correctly set. For
instructions on how to set the IP address, see
