AG-7448PL Series ToR Switch

3.3 Connecting to the Console Port

This port is used to connect a console device to the switch through a nullmodem serial cable.
The console device can be a PC or workstation running a VT-100 terminal emulator, or a
VT-100 terminal. An RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable is supplied with the switch for connecting to a PC’s
RS-232 serial DB-9 DTE port. The pin assignments used in the RJ-45-to-DB-9 cable are
described below.

3.4 Connecting to a Power Source

To connect a switch to a power source:
1. Insert the power cable plug directly into the AC socket of a PSU located at the back of the

switch.

2. Plug the other end of the cable into a grounded, 3-pin, AC power source.

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 socket type in your country.

3. Check the PSU and front-panel LEDs as the device is powered on to be sure that AC

power is being received and the PS1/PS2 LED is on. If not, check that the power cable is
correctly plugged in.

4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 when a second PSU module is installed.

Two installed PSU modules operate in a load-sharing mode and provide 1+1 redundancy.
