Connecting to Power
Applying Power to the Power Converter
Move the circuit breaker for the AC outlet or the DC control circuit to the on position.
The LED on the power converter front panel is green when the unit is operating normally. The LED is
off when the unit is not powered or is not operating normally. After the power is connected, the switch
automatically begins the power-on self- test (POST), a series of tests that verifies that the switch
functions properly.
Running Boot Fast
When the switch powers on, it automatically initiates a boot fast sequence. The boot fast sequence allows
the switch to boot up in less than 60 seconds. To test the switch, follow the steps in these sections:
• Powering On the Switch, page 2-30
• Verifying Boot Fast, page 2-31
• Disconnecting Power, page 2-31
Powering On the Switch
To apply power to a switch that is directly connected to a DC power source, locate the circuit breaker on
the panel board that services the DC circuit, and switch the circuit breaker to the ON position.
Step 7
Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to tighten the power connector
captive screws (above the installed wire leads) to 2 in-lb (0.23 N-m).

Step 8
Connect the other end of the positive wire to the positive terminal on the DC power source, and connect the other
end of the return wire to the return terminal on the DC power source.
Step 9
Insert the wired power plug into the switch PoE power connector and tighten the two screws to secure the plug.
