Verifying proper operation
• 1800W power supplies require 200V-240V for full power or are limited to 1200W with 115V/120V outlets.
• 2400W and 3000W power supplies require high line (200V-240V) outlets.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the router.
NOTE
Because the router is designed to provide uninterrupted service even when you insert or remove management modules and
interface modules, there is no on/off power switch. To turn the system off, simply unplug the power cords.
NOTE
Wall outlets should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.
