Verifying proper operation

3

Insert the other end of each cable into a wall outlet. The following rules apply:

1200W power supplies require 115V/120V outlets.

1800W power supplies require 200V-240V for full power or are limited to 1200W with
115V/120V outlets.

2400W and 3000W power supplies require high line (200V-240V) outlets.

DANGER

If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the device.

NOTE

Because the router is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or
remove management modules and interface modules, there is no on/off power switch. To turn
the system off, simply unplug the power cords.

NOTE

Wall outlets should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

4. Verify that the router has initialized successfully. Refer to

“Verifying proper operation”
