Caution: To prevent damaging the switch, ONLY connect a Power over

Ethernet-compliant Redundant Power System (C2RPS-POE) to the redundant power

supply connector. The switch is only compatible with the SecureStack C2RPS-POE

redundant power supply system.

Precaución: Conecte una fuente de poder redundante (RPS) SecureStack PoE (C2RPS-

POE) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.

Note: When switches are connected in a stack configuration and all stacking cables are

connected before powering up the switches, one switch in the stack will be automatically

designated as the Manager of the stack and its Console port will remain active. All other

switches will become Member switches and their Console ports will be deactivated.
