Step 2 Connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

As the switch powers on, it begins the power-on self-test (POST), a series of tests that run automatically

to ensure that the switch functions properly. If POST fails, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting,” to

determine a course of action.

a PC, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable.

Follow these steps to connect the PC or terminal to the switch:

Step 1 Using the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the console port on the

rear of a switch, as shown in Figure C-3.
