Chapter 3 Installing a Cisco 7100 VPN Series Router
Connecting the Power
To connect the AC power on Cisco 7120 series routers, use the following procedure:
Step 1 Turn the power switch to the off (O) position.
Step 2 Connect one end of the power cord to the power connector on the back of the router. (See Figure 3-19.)

Step 3
Connect the other end of the power cord to the power outlet.
Warning The plug-socket combination must be accessible at all times because it serves as the main
disconnecting device.
To connect the AC power on Cisco 7140 series routers (for power load-sharing and redundancy), use the
following procedure to connect the second power supply.
Cisco 7140 series routers will operate with power connected to either of the two power supplies. The
second AC-input power supply simply enables power load-sharing and redundancy. There is no primary
or secondary power supply for the Cisco 7140 series routers.
Step 1 At the back of the router, check that the power switch is in the off (O) position.
Step 2 Slide the cable-retention clip up, away from the second AC-input receptacle, and plug in the power
cable.
Step 3 Secure the cable in the power supply AC-input receptacle by sliding the cable-retention clip down until
it fits around the connector. The cable-retention clip provides strain relief for the AC power cable. (See
Figure 3-20.)
Note For additional AC power cable strain relief, secure the cable to the power supply handle by inserting a
nylon cable tie through the hole in the handle and around the cable.
Step 4 Plug the AC power supply cable for the second power supply into the AC
power source.
