Connecting Power to an AC-Powered Router

Connect AC power to the router by plugging the power cord supplied with each power supply into the appliance inlet on the power supply faceplate and into an AC power source receptacle. Follow this procedure:

1.Locate the power cords shipped with the router, which should have a plug appropriate for your geographical location (see “AC Power, Connection, and Power Cord Specifications” on page 178).

2.Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis. Make sure the router is attached to a proper earth ground. For more information about ESD, see “Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage” on page 140.

3.Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.

4.Verify that a licensed electrician has attached the cable lug provided with the router to the grounding cable.

5.Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws next to the grounding symbol above the power supplies on the chassis rear. Secure the grounding cable lug to the chosen grounding point by reinstalling and tightening the screws.
