Chapter 7 Installing the IPS 4510 and IPS 4520

Removing and Installing the Core IPS SSP

Step 6 Power on the sensor.

Caution If the appliance is subjected to environmental overheating, it shuts down and you must manually power cycle it to turn it on again.

Step 7 Check the PWR indicator on the front panel of the sensor to verify power socket connectivity. It should be green. To verify power supply operation, check the PS0 and PS1 indicators on the front panel. They should be green. On the back panel of the sensor, make sure the IN OK and the FAN OK indicators are green and the OUT FAIL indicator is off.
