At Step 3, operate gently. A power supply module should be removed gently and smoothly. If you find it difficult to
pull the module, do not adopt forcible measures. Instead, check if the module has been aligned with the edge of
the opening on the rear panel at the base of the router. Otherwise, the service module may be damaged.
When you have removed a power supply module and are not going to install another one, install a filler panel in
time to protect it against dust and ensure ventilation.
4 Starting and Configuring the Router
4.1 Starting a Router
4.1.1 Setting Up the Configuration Environment
When you use the router for the first time, you must configure the router over a console port as follows.
As shown in the following figure, connect the serial port of a character terminal or PC to the Console port of the
network output engine through the standard RS232 cable and the Console. Set up the local configuration
environment using the Console port.
Configure the communication setting parameters of a terminal. If a PC is used, you must run the terminal simulation
program, for example, Windows HyperTerminal. The following describes the procedure with the HyperTerminal as
example. Run the HyperTerminal software to set up a new connection. Select the serial port to connect the Console
port of the network output engine. Set the communication parameters: 9600 for baud rate, eight data bits, one stop
bit, no parity check, and no flow control. In addition, select VT100 as the simulation terminal type.
1. Create a new connection
2. Select the serial port to be connected with the router console
3. Set the communication parameters of the serial port
4. Select a terminal emulation type

18. After setting up the configuration environment, power on the router.
4.1.2 Powering up the Router
Verification before Power-up
Verify the following before powering up the router:
The power cable and the grounding cable are connected correctly.
The power supply voltage meets the requirement.
The cable connection is correct and the PC or terminal for configuration is started and set.
Before power-up, verify the position of the power switch so that you can cut power supply in time in case of
accident.
