Power Unit Status = OK
When the primary power fails and the external power supply is activated, the unit should be sent for repair. The
external power supply is designed to be a temporary replacement when the primary power fails.
To install the optional power supply, simply attach the 12V connector of the power supply to the jack located in the
center of the rear panel of the switch. Connect the power cord to the power supply and plug the power cord into an
outlet.
Important: The external power supply is hot under normal operating conditions. To avoid damage or injury, set the
power supply on a heat-resistant surface and use caution when handling the unit.
2.5 Connecting Power
Important: Carefully review the power requirements (Chapter 2.1.3) before connecting power to the switch.
Use the following procedure to connect power to the switch:
1. Plug one end of the supplied power cord into the power connector on the back of the switch.
2. Plug the other end into a grounded AC outlet.
The power LED show the initialization is in process.
