Step 2 Restore power by moving the handle of the circuit breaker to the ON position.

The LED (labeled POWER) on the front panel should go ON and the fans operate.

Depending on your installation, other front-panel LEDs can also come on.

Note If you encounter problems when you power on the router, see Appendix A, “Troubleshooting”.
