Cisco 910 Industrial Router Installation
Installing the router
Attach the Power Connector to the Router
To attach the power connectors to the front panel of the router, follow these steps:
1.
Insert the power connector jack into the DC-A receptacle on the front panel of the router.
2.
Use a ratcheting torque flathead screwdriver to tighten the captive screws on the sides of the power connector.
When you are testing the router, one power source is sufficient. If you are installing the router and are using a second
power source, repeat this procedure for the second power connector (DC-B), which is installed just below the primary
power connector (DC-A).
When you are installing the router, secure the wires coming from the power connector so that they cannot be disturbed
by casual contact, for example, use tie wraps to secure the wires to the rack.
Running POST
When the router powers on, it automatically initiates a POST, which runs a series of tests that verify if the router is
functioning properly and ensures that it is ready to install. To test the router, follow these steps:
Applying Power to the Router, page 28
Applying Power to the Router
To apply power to the router, connect it directly to a DC power source. The power LED (DC-A or DC-B) turns on and the
router powers on immediately.
Verify POST Results
When you power on the router, it automatically begins POST. All LEDs are off for a few seconds. The system LED
continues to blink green as the software image verifies the basic functionality of the system initialization. Assuming all
the tests are passed, the SYS LED turns solid green. If the POST fails, the SYS LED turns red.
Note:
POST failures are usually fatal. Call Cisco technical service representative immediately if your router does not pass
POST. See
Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request
Disconnect Power
After successfully running POST, follow these steps:
1.
Disconnect the cables.
2.
Decide where you want to install the router.
Installing the router
This section describes how to install the router:
Installing the Router on a DIN Rail
Installing the Router on a Wall or Pole
To prevent the router from overheating, ensure a minimum clearance of 3 in. (76 mm).
