Connecting DC Power to an EX9251 Switch and Powering on the Switch
Before you begin connecting DC power to an EX9251 switch:
• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precautions to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD)
damage (see
Prevention of Electrostatic Discharge Damage
).
• Ensure that you have connected the switch chassis to earth ground.
CAUTION: To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to
ensure proper operation, you must connect EX9251 switches to earth ground before
you connect them to power. For installations that require a separate grounding
conductor to the chassis, use the protective earthing terminal on the switch chassis to
connect to earth ground. For instructions on connecting an EX9251 switch to ground
using a separate grounding conductor, see
Connect Earth Ground to an EX Series
Switch
.
• Install DC power supplies in the chassis. See
"Installing a DC Power Supply in an EX9251 Switch" on
.
Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available to connect DC power to an EX9251 switch:
• An ESD wrist strap
• DC power source cables (minimum 12 AWG (2.5 mm²), minimum 60°C wire or as permitted by local
code)
• Two ring lugs (Molex 01907000969 or equivalent)—provided with the switch
• An external management device
