CAUTION
: If you have already installed a copper LAN cable in port
GbE 1
to the right, you
must connect the fiber optic cable to port
Gbic 2
. Likewise, if port
GbE 2
has been deployed,
the fiber optic cable must go in port
Gbic 1
.
Otherwise, the GbE port will not work.
Connecting to Power
The PoLRE switch is powered through an AC Connection (see the next section). Another hardware configuration is
available for Powershare purposes. This requires multiple PoLRE switches installed in a standard 19” equipment
rack. For details, refer to Daisy-chaining PoLRE Switches for Powershare, page 32.
AC Connection
To connect the PoLRE switch to an AC power source:
1.
Ensure that the power supply unit is fully inserted into its slot, and that its thumbscrew at the front is
well tightened.
2.
Connect the AC power cord to the AC power inlet located at the rear of the switch.
3.
Plug the other end of the power cord into an AC power outlet (100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz) with a
protective earthing connection in good condition. For reliability purposes it is recommended that the
PoLRE switch be powered from a dedicated mains outlet.
