Connecting to a Power Source
Step 3 Configure the baud rate and character format of the PC or terminal to match these console port default
characteristics:
• 9600 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• No parity
• None (flow control)
Connecting to a Power Source
Follow these steps to connect to a power source:
Step 1 If you are using an AC power supply, connect one end of the supplied AC power cord to the power
connector on the switch rear panel, and then connect the other end of the power cable to a grounded AC
outlet. (See Figure C-1.)
Step 2 If you are using a DC power supply, see the “Connecting DC Power to the Cisco ME 4924-10GE Switch”
section on page 3-3 for instructions on how to install the DC power supply.
As the switch powers on, it begins the POST, a series of tests that runs automatically to ensure that the
switch functions properly.
POST lasts approximately 1 minute. After POST is complete, the system and status LEDs remain green
(see the “LEDs” section on page 1-4 for more information).
If the switch fails POST, the system LED turns amber.
Note POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco Systems if your switch does not pass POST.
If you started the terminal-emulation program before you powered on your switch, the PC or terminal
displays the bootloader sequence. You need to press Enter to display the setup program prompt.
