Fix the bail latch into theholes located at the two sides of the AC power receptacle. Then pull the bail latch upwards (see inFigure 3-21 or Figure 3-23).Step3 Connect one end of the AC power cord to the AC receptacle on the switch (see callout 1 in Figure 3-22or Figure 3-24).Step4 Pull the bail latch down to secure the plug to the AC receptacle (see callout 2 in Figure 3-22 or Figure3-24).Step5 Connect the other end of the AC power cord to the external AC power supply system.Step6 Check whether the system status LED (PWR/SYS) on the front panel of the switch is ON. If the LED isON, it shows the power cord is properly connected.
