Installing the BayStack Switches
893-01010-A 2-7
Completing Rack Mounting Installation
Once the switch is secured to the rack, connect the devices and apply power using
the following steps:
1. Attach all devices to the ports.
See “Attaching Devices to the BayStack Switch ” on page 2-8 .
2. Attach the power cord to the back of the switch.
The BayStack switches do not have a power on/off switch. When you connect
the AC power cord to a suitable AC outlet, the switch powers up immediately.
3. Attach the other end of the power cord to a grounded AC power outlet.
As soon as the cord is plugged into the AC outlet, power is applied to all
components in the switch.
With power applied to the switch, power-up diagnostics are performed and the
switch goes into normal switch mode. No configuration is required unless
changes are necessary or network management is required. To do basic switch
configuration, see
“Initial Setup of a BayStack Ethernet Switch ” on
page 2-15 . To understand the complete software interface, see Chapter 3,
“Customizing and Managing the BayStack Switches .”
Warning: Removal of the power cord is the only way to turn off power to
this device. The power cord must always be connected in a location that
can be accessed quickly and safely in case of an emergency.
