Step 3. Mount the Router
Mount the router in the rack using the rack mount kit with instructions provided.
Step 4. Install the SFPs
An SFP transceiver is required for each router port that will be connected to a Fibre Channel device or switch. SFPs are included in the package. If you prefer using different SFP transceivers from the ones provided, purchase one of the following QLogic recommended transceivers:
❑Finisar
❑JDS Uniphase
To install an SFP transceiver, insert the transceiver into the router port and press gently until it snaps in place. The transceiver will fit only one way. If the transceiver does not install under gentle pressure, flip it over and try again.
Step 5. Apply Power to the iSR6250 Router
The iSR6250 router chassis contains two router blades, along with a power cooling module (PCM) for each blade. Each chassis blade provides LEDs and connectors that face the front of the chassis. Each PCM provides a power connector, as well as an LED (see Figure 3).

1.Attach the AC power cord to the power connector, located on the backside of the PCM connected directly behind the router blade.
2.Connect the opposite end of the power cord to the wall outlet or power strip.
3.Check the PCM power LED to make sure the PCM is operational (green = OK, yellow = no AC power).
Figure 4 shows the location of the ports and LEDs on one of the blades contained within the iSR6250 unit that are referenced in the following instructions.
