• 2400W and 3000W power supplies require high line (200V-240V) outlets.
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.
Because the router is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or
remove management modules and interface modules, there is no on/off power switch. To turn
the system off, simply unplug the power cords.
Wall outlets should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

page 126.
Verifying proper operation
To verify that your router is operating properly, observe the LEDs, or display the status of the
modules using the CLI.

When power is supplied to the router, you can observe the LEDs to verify that the router initialized
successfully. Table 27 describes the LEDs, the desired state of each LED, possible abnormal states
of each LED, and what to do if an LED indicates an abnormal state.
