Chapter 3 Installing Cisco IAD2430 Series IADs

Connecting Cables

1	Fast Ethernet port	2	Serial port—console or auxiliary

3	Fast Ethernet (straight-through)	4	RJ-45-to-DB-9 console cable

Connecting the Input Power

To connect input power to the Cisco IAD, use the procedure in this section.

Caution The Cisco IAD2430 series chassis provides inputs for both AC and DC power. Design your installation to use only one type of power. Do not use AC and DC power at the same time. If you do, the unit stops operating, and you must reboot it with only a single power source.

Cable

The AC power cable is used for this application.

Procedure

Step 1 Connect the AC power cable (supplied) to the recessed power plug on the back of the concentrator.

Step 2 Plug the cable into a power source with a voltage of 100 to 240 VAC.
