Cabling the E-series Router for Power ! 61
Chapter 6: Cabling E-series Routers
Connecting to the Network
To connect the E-series router to the network:
1. Insert an Ethernet cable (RJ-45) connector into the 10/100Base-T (RJ-45) port on
the SRP I/O module until it clicks into place.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the appropriate Ethernet network for an
out-of-band connection.
Connecting to a Console Terminal
When you connect a console directly to the E-series router SRP I/O module, use a
cable appropriate for your terminal connector. The cable must have a female DB-9
connector to attach to the RS-232 port on the SRP I/O module.
To connect the console to the SRP I/O module:
1. Insert the female DB-9 connector into the RS-232 port, and tighten the screws.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to your terminal’s serial port (VT100/ANSI).
Cabling the E-series Router for Power
After you have correctly cabled the modules and I/O modules, you must attach
grounding and electrical wires before you attempt system power-up. There are
three main tasks involved:
1. Switch all E-series router power switches to OFF.
2. Connect the grounding wires to the chassis.
3. Connect the power cables (AC or DC) to the power input modules.
See Chapter 11, System Specifications for the power requirements for the E-series
router. Table 9 identifies the power input module cabling requirements, and
Figure 31 shows the main components of a power input module.
CAUTION: Switches may have inadvertently flipped to ON during shipping and
installation.
WARNING: Always connect the grounding wires first (before connecting the power
cables) and disconnect them last when installing or servicing the E-series router.
