See the Fan Module Hardware Installation Guide to see how to install the fan module in the
Switch.
3.2.2 Power Connection
Make sure you are using the correct power source and that no objects obstruct the airflow of the
fans.
The Switch uses two power supply modules, one of which is redundant, so if one power module fails
the system can operate on the remaining module.
Connecting the Power
Use the following procedures to connect the Switch to a power source after you have installed it in
a rack.
Note: Use the included power cord for the AC power connection.
1 Connect the female end of the power cord to the AC power socket.
