Connecting to a Power Source
To connect a device to a power source:
Note: It is recommended that the switches be stacked before
being connected to a power source. However, a device can
be added to the top or bottom of a stack that is on and
operating without first powering down the stack. Be sure to
stack the new device before connecting it to a power
source. All switches in a stack must be powered on to allow
traffic to pass across the stack’s backplane.
To connect each device to a power source:
1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the receptacle located
at the back of the device.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin socket.
Note: For International use, you may need to change the AC line
cord. You must use a line cord set that has been approved
for the receptacle type in your country.
3. Check the front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be
sure the Power LED is lit. If not, check that the power cable is
correctly plugged in. The Mgmt LED on the uppermost switch
will be lit.
