Connecting AC and RPS Power

SecureStack C2 Installation Guide 3-13

1.

Ensure that power is off on the new switch being installed.

2.

Use one of the following methods to complete the stack cable connections:

If the running stack uses a daisy chain topology, make the stack cable connections 
from the bottom of the stack to the new switch (that is, STACK DOWN port from 
the bottom switch of the running stack to the STACK UP port on the new switch).

If the running stack uses a ring stack topology, break the ring and make the stack 
cable connections to the new switch to close the ring. 

3.

Apply power to the new switch.

AC Power

To connect a switch to the AC power source, refer to 

Figure 3‐7

 and proceed as follows:

1.

Plug the power cord

into the switch AC power connector.

2.

Plug the other end of the power cord into a dedicated grounded AC outlet (not 
shown). The type of power outlet and power cord are country dependent.

Important Considerations About Using Clear Config in a Stack

When using the clear config command (as described in the SecureStack C2 Configuration Guide)
to clear configuration parameters in a stack, it is important to remember the following:

• Use clear config to clear config parameters without clearing stack switch IDs. This command

WILL NOT clear stack parameters and avoids the process of re-numbering the stack.

• Use clear config all when it is necessary to clear all config parameters, including stack switch

IDs and switch priority values.

Note: The power supply in the switch has automatic voltage sensing that allows
connection to power sources ranging from 100 to 240 VAC.

Note: If you plan to connect all the switches quickly to allow automatic Manager selection,
wait until all switches are fully operational before proceeding to the next step.

If you plan to power up each switch and allow it to become fully operational before
applying power to the next switch, proceed to the next step.
