AC and DC Power Connection

Make sure that the switch console port is connected to a VT100 terminal

or VT100 terminal emulator via the RJ-45 to DB-9 female cable.

Using a 5-foot (1.5 m) standard power cable with safety ground connected,

connect the power cable to the AC main receptacle located on the rear

panel.

Connect the power cable to a grounded AC outlet.

If you are using a redundant or external DC power supply, such as the Dell

Networking RPS720 or Dell Networking MPS1000 (N2128PX-ON only),

connect the DC power cable to the DC receptacle located on the rear

panel.
