"AC Power Cord Specifications for the MX960 Router" on page

above the power supply.

3. Insert the power cord plug into an external AC power source receptacle.

Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated AC power feed and a

access to router components, or drape where people could trip on it.

5. Move the AC input switch in the chassis above the power supply to the on (—)position and observe

the status LEDs on the power supply faceplate. If the power supply is correctly installed and functioning

normally, the AC OK and DC OK LEDs light steadily, and the PS FAIL LED is not lit.
