Power on the Device
Procedure
Step 1
Connect the outside interface (Ethernet 1/1) to your outside router.
Step 2 Connect the inside interface (for example, Ethernet 1/2) to your inside switch or router.
Step 3
Connect other networks to the remaining interfaces.
Step 4 (Optional) Connect the management computer to the console port.
At the branch office, the console connection is not required for everyday use; however, it may be required
for troubleshooting purposes.
Power on the Device
The power switch is located to the left of power supply module 1 on the rear of the chassis. It is a toggle
switch that controls power to the system. If the power switch is in standby position, only the 3.3-V standby
power is enabled from the power supply module and the 12-V main power is OFF. When the switch is in the
ON position, the 12-V main power is turned on and the system boots.
Before you begin
It's important that you provide reliable power for your device (for example, using an uninterruptable power
supply (UPS)). Loss of power without first shutting down can cause serious file system damage. There are
many processes running in the background all the time, and losing power does not allow the graceful shutdown
of your system.
Procedure
Step 1 Attach the power cord to the device and connect it to an electrical outlet.
Step 2
Press the power switch on the back of the device.
Step 3 Check the PWR LED on the front of the device; if it is solid green, the device is powered on.
Step 4
Check the SYS LED on the front of the device; after it is solid green, the system has passed power-on
diagnostics.
