The following table describes the ports on the rear panel.
3.2.1 Power Connector
Make sure you are using the correct power source as shown on the panel.
To connect the power to the Switch, insert the female end of power cord to the
power receptacle on the rear panel. Connect the other end of the supplied power
cord to a power outlet. Make sure that no objects obstruct the airflow of the fans.
The Switch requires a power supply of 100-240 VAC, 1.2 A.
3.2.2 External Backup Power Supply Connector
The Switch supports external backup power supply (BPS).
The Switch constantly monitors the status of the internal power supply. The
backup power supply automatically provides power to the Switch in the event of a
power failure. Once the Switch receives power from the backup power supply, it
will not automatically switch back to using the internal power supply even when
the power is resumed.
3.2.3 Console Port
For local management, you can use a computer with terminal emulation software
configured to the following parameters:
• VT100 terminal emulation
• 9600 bps
• No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
• No flow control
