Caution Remove the protective liner before applying power to the switch.

Failure to remove the protective liner could result in thermal damage to the

switch.

Verifying Switch Operation

Warning

If you connect or disconnect the console cable with power applied to the

switch or any device on the network, an electrical arc can occur. This could

cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is

removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding.

To verify switch operation, perform POST on the switch in a nonhazardous

location before installation.

Statement 1065

Before installing the switch on a DIN rail or in a 19-inch rack, you should power

on the switch and verify that the switch passes power-on self-test (POST). These

sections describe the steps required to connect a PC to the switch console port, to

power on the switch, and to observe POST:

Connecting a PC or a Terminal to the Console Port, page 4-14

Powering On the Switch and Running POST, page 4-16

Connecting a PC or a Terminal to the Console Port

To connect a PC to the console port, use the supplied RJ-45-to-DB-9 adapter

cable. To connect a terminal to the console port, you need to provide an

RJ-45-to-DB-25 female DTE adapter. You can order a kit (part number

ACS-DSBUASYN=) with that adapter from Cisco. For console-port and

adapter-pinout information, see the “Cable and Adapter Specifications” section

on page B-5.
