4. Push the power supply front panel into the router until it engages the backplane connector,
and the latch pin clicks into place.
For information about connecting power to the router, refer to “Connecting AC power” on page 64,
or “Connecting DC power” on page 65.
Connecting AC power
AC power is supplied through the power cord that is connected to the AC power supply in the router.
For the NEBS-compliant installation, AC power connections must use a surge protection device
(SPD) to protect the AC power supplies from damage due to excessive power line surges.
Follow these steps to connect the AC power cord.
1. Locate the AC inlet on rear of chassis for the associated installed AC power supply.
2. Lift the cord-retainer and connect the AC power cord to the associated power supply AC inlet.
3. Snap the cord-retainer over the power plug to hold it in place.
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.
