Connecting Power to the Switch
You can connect an A2 switch to a single, primary source of power,
or to two sources of power for redundancy.
The following redundant power supplies are available for purchase
from Enterasys Networks for connection to an A2 switch:
• C2RPS‐PSM, a 150 watt DC power supply capable of providing
or to two sources of power for redundancy.
The following redundant power supplies are available for purchase
from Enterasys Networks for connection to an A2 switch:
• C2RPS‐PSM, a 150 watt DC power supply capable of providing
power to a fully‐loaded non‐PoE switch.
• C2RPS‐POE (A2H124‐24P and A2H124‐48P only), 500 watt DC
power supply for PoE switches.
To power‐up your A2 switch:
1. If you are connecting a redundant power supply, attach the

redundant power connector.
2. Attach the AC power cord to the A2 switch’s AC input power
connector.
3. Plug the redundant power supply (if applicable) and the A2
switch AC power cords into dedicated, grounded AC outlets.

green, and the CPU (system) LED turns amber until the A2
switch finishes its initialization.
