Installing the Switch
Installation Procedures
2. Verify the Switch Boots Correctly
Note For steps 2 and 3, if an E3800 switch is powered on for the first time without
a stacking module installed, stacking will be disabled and that will be saved
in the switch's running configuration. For more information, see “Stacking
Information and Topologies” on page 2-23.
Before installing the switch in its network location, you should first verify it
is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying that it
boots correctly.
1. Connect the power cord supplied with the switch to the power connector
on the back of the switch, and then into a properly grounded electrical
outlet.
Figure 2-2. Connecting the power cord
Note The E3800 switches do not have a power switch. They are powered on when
the power cord is connected to the switch and to a power source. For safety,
the power outlet should be located near the switch installation.
The switch automatically adjusts to any voltage between 100-127 and 200-240
volts and either 50 or 60 Hz. No voltage range settings are required.
If your installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with
the switch, be sure to use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety
agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark
is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the switch.
