Connect the wire to your DC power source, making sure to connect the -48V cable to the negative terminal on
the power supply and the 0V cable to the positive terminal as marked on the power supply.
DC return shall be isolated from the chassis ground (DC-I) when connections to the power supply are made.
Final Steps
Here are the final steps that you should complete in the order in which they are listed:
•
“Attaching a Management Station”

“Powering-On the Power Source”
•
Attaching a Management Station
You can manage the NetIron MLX Series system in the following ways:
•
You can connect a PC or terminal to the management module’s serial (Console) port for a direct connection.
From this interface, you can configure the 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port
with an IP address and either Telnet or SSH. This enables you to manage the device through the
10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port using either Telnet or SSH.
•
You can connect the NetIron MLX Series router to your existing management network and manage the router,
along with other network devices, from a management station. To do this, you can connect a router to the
management module’s 10BaseT/100BaseTX/1000BaseTX Ethernet (management) port.
NOTE:
The existing management network into which you can connect the 10/100 Ethernet port must be
separate and isolated from the network over which user packets are switched and routed. For information about
the management port’s functionality, see “Understanding How the Management Port Functions” on page 4-5.
For information about connecting a PC or terminal to the management module’s Console port or management
port, see “Attaching a PC or Terminal to the Console Port or Ethernet Port” on page 3-50. For information about
connecting a management port to a network, see “Attaching the Management Module’s Ethernet Port to a
Network” on page 3-50.
