Connecting Power to an AC-Powered M7i Router

To connect power to an AC-powered router:

1. Locate the power cords shipped with the router, which should have a plug appropriate

for your geographical location (see “M7i Router AC Power, Connection, and Power

Cord Specifications” on page 168).

2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect

the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.

3. Verify that the switch on each power supply faceplate is in the OFF (O) position.

4. For each power supply, insert the appliance coupler end of a power cord into the

appliance inlet on a power supply faceplate and insert the plug into an AC power

source receptacle. Verify that the power cord does not block access to router

components or drape where people could trip on it.
