Power-On
The device automatically boots when the power plug is connected to an electrical outlet. If the unit does not
boot automatically, it can be manually booted by quickly flipping the power switch.
NOTE: Power OFF –To perform a graceful shutdown, use the shutdown command in
the CLI. If you made any changes to the device configuration, you will be
prompted to save your configuration information before the device powers
down.
Force Power OFF –If the system stops working and requires a forced shutdown,
press and hold the power switch for four seconds. Keep in mind that this forced
shutdown will cause a loss of configuration information that has not be
manually saved.

Power Supply Unit Installation
This guide describes how to connect the power supply unit to an applicable AC or DC power source.
The following topics are covered:
•Overview
•DC Power Supply Installation
•Power Supply Hot Swap
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install or operate damaged equipment. As with any
electrical equipment, personal injury or damage to other equipment can
result from commissioning damaged electrical equipment.
NOTE: Follow all applicable regulations for installation of electrical equipment; for
example, in the United States of America, the National Electrical Code.
For devices with multiple power supplies, it is recommended that all power
supplies be plugged-in.

Overview
AC or DC power connections are made using standard connections. AC or DC power is connected to each module
separately.
Power connections are made using a hot-swap power cable, which enables quick and easy installation of the
power supplies without the need to disturb the terminal blocks. For models with multiple power supply units,
power is connected to each module separately.
Before extracting a power supply from the chassis, you must disconnect it from the power source. This is
required regardless of whether the power supply is in standby mode or powered on mode. Likewise, when
installing a power supply, insert the power supply into the chassis first, before connecting the power supply to
the power source.
•Insertion: Input and Output power are connected simultaneously, in either standby mode or powered on
mode, when the power supply is inserted into the chassis.
•Extraction: Input and Output power are disconnected simultaneously, in either standby mode or powered on
mode, when the power supply is extracted from the chassis.
No damage or arcing to Input or Output contacts occurs.
