24   ESR Series Routers Operation Manual 
3.3  ESR-1000, ESR-1200 power module installation 
ESR-1000  router  can  operate  with  one  or  two  power  modules.  The  second  power  module 
installation is necessary when the device operates under strict reliability requirements. 
 From  the  electric  point  of  view,  both  places  for  power  module  installation  are  identical.  In  the 
context  of  device  operation,  the  power  module  located  closer  to  the  edge  is  considered  as  the  main 
module, and the one closer  to  the centre—as the  backup  module. Power modules can be  inserted  and 
removed  without  powering  the  device off.  When  additional  power module  is  inserted or  removed,  the 
router continues operation without reboot.

Power module fault indication may be caused not only by the module failure, but also by 
the absence of the primary power supply. 
You can check the state of power modules by the indication on the front panel of the router (see 
Section 2.4.3) or by diagnostics, available through the router management interfaces.  
3.4  Connection to Power Supply 
1.  Ground  the  case  of  the  device  prior  to  connecting  it  to  the  power  supply.  An  insulated 
multiconductor  wire  should  be  used  for  earthing.  The  device  grounding  and  the  earthing 
wire cross-section should comply with Electric Installation Code.  
2.  If a PC or another device is supposed to be connected to the router console port, the device 
should be also securely grounded. 
3.  Connect  the  power  supply  cable  to  the  device.  Depending  on  the  delivery  package,  the 
device can be powered by AC or DC electrical network. To connect the device to AC power 
supply, use the cable from the delivery package. To connect the device to DC power supply, 
use the cable with cross-section not less than 1mm

4.  Turn the device on and check the front panel LEDs to make sure the terminal is in normal 
operating conditions.
