Connecting the Console
To connect a console to the CSS and power up the CSS, attach the console cable
(provided in the Accessory kit) to the Console port on the CSS 11050 or
CSS 11150 front panel, or to the CSS 11800 SCM panel. Your terminal settings
must match the following CSS default settings:
• Baud Rate: 9600
• Data Bits: 8
• Flow Control: none
• Parity: none
• Stop Bits: 1
1. Attach the power cord to the CSS 11050 or CSS 11150 rear panel AC
connector, or to the CSS 11800 AC connector.
2. Power on the CSS as described in “Powering Up the CSS”.
Powering Up the CSS
To power up the AC on a CSS 11050, CSS 11150 or CSS 11800:
1. Attach the power cord to the CSS 11050 or CSS 11150 rear panel AC
connector, or to the CSS 11800 AC connector (as described in Chapter 2,
Cabling the CSS).
2. Power on the CSS by toggling the power switch to the 1 (on) position.
For DC power on a CSS 11150 or CSS 11800, set the external disconnect device
to the 1 (on) position.
Powering Down the CSS
To shutdown the CSS gracefully and avoid introducing lost or fragmented files,
always use the shutdown command prior to removing power from the CSS. This
command is available in boot mode.
