Installation Procedures
2. Verify the Switch Passes Self Test
Before mounting the switch in its network location, you should first verify it
is working properly by plugging it into a power source and verifying it passes
its self test.
1. For the Switch 2520G-24-PoE, 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.
For the Switch 2520G-8-PoE, connect the AC/DC adapter’s power cord to
the power connector on the back of the switch, and then plug the AC/DC
power adapter into a nearby properly grounded electrical outlet.
Figure 2-1. Connecting the power cord
Note The Switch 2520G-24-PoE does not have a power switch. It is 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.
