Before you start the switch, ensure you follow these prerequistes:

• The switch must be installed and secured to a rack or cabinet.

• The switch must be adequately grounded.

• The rack must be positioned close to the dedicated power source. This proximity ensures that you can connect the switch to the power source using the designated power cables.

  Note

  Depending on the outlet receptacle on your AC power distribution unit, you might need an optional jumper power cord to connect the switch to your outlet receptacle.

• The switch is not connected to the network (this includes any management or interface connections).

• The fan and power supply modules are fully secured in their chassis slots.
