Chapter 3 Installing and Removing the Uplink Cards

Turning On Power to the Router

Connecting the AC Power Supply

Warning Before you install, operate, or service the system, read the Regulatory Compliance and Safety Information for the Cisco 10720 Internet Router publication. This publication contains important safety information you should know before working with the system.

Warning Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Note For additional information, refer to the Cisco 10720 Internet Router AC and DC Power Supply Replacement Instructions. This configuration note is available on Cisco.com or ordered as a printed document. Field replacement documentation is available electronically, by default. If you prefer printed documentation, order it online.

Note We recommend that you attach each AC-input power supply to a dedicated power source for redundancy and use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures. Each AC power supply operating between 100 and 240 VAC requires a dedicated 15 A electrical power service for North America, 10 A electrical power service for international specifications.

Perform the following steps to connect the AC power supply:

Step 1 Confirm that the power switch on the router is in the off (O) position. (See Figure 3-1.)
