Installation precautions
Follow these precautions when installing the unit.
DANGER
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Replace the battery only with the
same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Lithium battery is a long life battery
and it is very possible that you will never need to replace it. However, should you need to replace
it, do not dispose of the battery along with household waste. Contact your local waste disposal
agency for the address of the nearest battery deposit site.

2 Optionally insert a second or redundant power supply. If you
need to install a power supply, it may be easier to install it
before mounting the device, although the power supplies are
“hot swappable”, and can be installed or removed after the
device is mounted and powered-on.

access security, assign a password.
“Password assignment” on page 41
9 Before connecting to the device, you need to configure an
interface IP address to the subnet on which it will be located.
Initial IP address configuration is performed using the CLI with
a direct serial connection. Subsequent IP address
configuration can be performed using the command line
interface.
