Power precautions
Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in case one of
the circuits fails.
Make sure to choose the appropriate circuit device, depending on the number of AC power
supplies installed in the router.
Disconnect the power cord from all power sources to completely remove power from the router.
Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord
supplied with the router to connect it to the power source.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make
sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations
for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used
safely with the router.
Make sure the rack or cabinet housing the router is adequately secured to prevent it from
becoming unstable or falling over.
Mount the routers you install in a rack or cabinet as low as possible. Place the heaviest router at
the bottom and progressively place lighter routers above.
