Installing the Power Supplies in the Switch Chassis
The chassis secondary power supplies (AC or DC) are shipped separately from the switch chassis.
Remove the power supply from its shipping packaging, and then install and connect it to the site power
by referring to the “Removing and Installing the AC-Input Power Supplies” section on page 4-2 or the
“Removing and Installing the DC-Input Power Supplies” section on page 4-15. Verify that you have the
correct power supply (AC-input or DC-input and the correct wattage) for your configuration.
Note
AC-input and DC-input power supplies can be mixed in a chassis.
Attaching the Interface Cables
This section provides general information on attaching interface cables to the supervisor engines and to
the modules.

• Configure the switch from the CLI.
• Monitor network statistics and errors.
• Configure SNMP agent parameters.
• Download software updates to the switch, or distribute software images residing in flash memory to
attached devices.
