Handling the Switch

Topreventelectrostaticdamage,attachanelectrostaticdischarge

(ESD)wriststraptoyourwristbeforehandlingtheswitch.

Unpacktheswitchasfollows:

1. Removethepackingmaterialprotectingtheswitch.

2. Removethetapesealonthenon‐conductivebagtoremovethe

switch.

3. Performavisualinspectionoftheswitchforanysignsof

physicaldamage.ContactEnterasysNetworksifthereareany

Stacking Switches

UptoeightC5switchescanbestackedtogetherandconnectedby

high‐speedstackingcables,whichallowtheentirestacktooperate

withasingleIPaddress.

TheC5supportsthefollowinghigh‐speedstackingcablesonly,

whichyoumustorderseparately:

•STK‐CAB‐SHORT

•STK‐CAB‐LONG

•STK‐CAB‐2M

•STK‐CAB‐5M

Forcompleteinformationaboutstacking,refertotheEnterasysC5

GigabitEthernetSwitchHardwareInstallationGuide.

Connecting Power to the Switch

Youcanconnecttoasingle,primarysourceofpower,ortotwo

sourcesofpowerforredundancy.Theexampleusedhere

describesconnectingtotwopowersources.

Thefollowingredundantpowersuppliesareavailabletobe

purchasedfromEnterasysNetworksforconnectiontoaC5

switch:

•STK‐RPS‐150PS,a102‐156wattDCpowersupplycapableof

providingpowertoafully‐loadednon‐PoEswitch.

•STK‐RPS‐1005PS,a1005wattDCpowersupplyrecommended

forfullPoEcapability.

Topower‐upyourC5switch:

1. Attachthepowercordfromyourredundantpowersupply

intotheC5switch’sredundantpowerreceptacle.

2. AttachtheACpowercordtotheC5switch’sACpower

receptacle.

3. PlugtheredundantpowersupplyandtheC5switchAC

powercordsintodedicated,groundedACoutlets.

4. Oncepowerisconnected,verifythattheCPU(system)LED

turnsamberuntiltheC5switchfinishesitsinitialization.

Iftheinitializationprocessissuccessful,theCPULEDturnsgreen.

IftheCPULEDdoesnotturngreen,refertotheEnterasysC5

troubleshootinginformation.

Caution: The switch can be damaged by electrostatic discharge.

Note: You can stack a C5 switch only with other C5 switches.

Electrical Hazard: Only qualified personnel should perform

installation procedures.
