Figure 1. AC powered HS8000
This section describes the proper connection of the DC leads to the DC power terminal block on
the HS8000. The DC terminal block is located on the left front of the unit and is equipped with
three screw-down lead posts. The power terminals are identified as positive (+) and negative (-),
and they are floating inside the unit so that either may be grounded by the user if desired. The
chassis is “earth” or ground (GND).
Simply insert the DC leads to the power terminals, positive (+) and negative (-) screws. The use
of Ground (GND) is optional and connects to the chassis of the switch. Ensure that each lead is
securely tightened.
When power is applied, the green PWR LED will illuminate.

Step 3: Management Access
To access the user interface of the HS8000, a VT100 session must be created through
HyperTerminal or a comparable VT100 terminal. Connect a DB-9 EIA-232,
null modem
cable
from your PC or laptop (COM 1 or any open COM port) to the console port of the switch.
