To power up the switch and verify hardware operation, follow these steps:
Step 1 Verify that empty power supply slots have filler panels installed, the faceplates of all modules are flush
with the front of the chassis, and the captive screws of the power supplies, fan module, and all expansion
modules are tight.
Step 2 Verify that the power supply and the fan modules are installed.

b. Plug the power cable into the power receptacle on the power supply.
c. Attach the other end of the power cable to the AC power source.
d. Turn on the power at the circuit breaker.
e. Verify that the power supply is functioning by making sure that the OK LED turns green and the
