POWERING AN FIM-108 UNIT ON OR OFF

With the power off at both units, check all electrical and optical connections as 
described in the Installation Chapter of this manual. Firmly seat and latch all 
connectors. 

To power an FIM-108 unit on or off: 

1. Pull the on/off lever towards you to unlock it. 

The power lever locks to prevent inadvertent power turn off. When you pull 
the lever towards you, the lock disengages. Never move the front-panel lever 
without first unlocking it. 

2. Move the lever up to turn power on, or down to turn power off. 
3. Switch the power on at both FIM-108 units.

The power at both units must be on for the system to function. 

4. Verify that the green power light is  illuminated on each unit, and that the red 

link status light is not illuminated on each unit. 
If the lights do not illuminate as described, refer to the troubleshooting 
section in the Maintenance Chapter for further instructions.
