Chapter 10: Connecting the Switch NOTE: After you power on a power supply, wait for at least 60 seconds before you turn it off. After you power off a power supply, wait for at least 60 seconds before you turn it back on. If the system is completely powered off when you switch on a power supply, the SRE or RE module boots as the power supply completes its startup sequence. After you power on a power supply, it can take up to 60 seconds for status indicators such as power supply LEDs and the show chassis operational mode CLI command display to indicate that the power supply is functioning normally. Ignore any error indicators that might appear during the first 60 seconds.

J-EX Series switches have a management port with an RJ-45 connector for out-of-band management. Use the management port to connect the J-EX Series switch to the management device. Ensure that you have an Ethernet cable with an RJ-45 connector available. One such cable is provided with the switch. Figure 61 on page 135 shows the RJ-45 connector of the Ethernet cable supplied with the switch.
