Introduction

This chapter describes the following procedures:

installing the batteries that power the real time clock

configuring the IP addresses on the MX250

connecting the MX250 to your networks

configuring the MX250

6.2

Installing Batteries for Real Time Clock

Before installing the MX250 chassis into the network rack, you must install two AAA batteries into

the fan tray to power the real time clock on the MX250. The position for these batteries is on the

fan tray shown in figure 6-1. To install the batteries:

1.

Ensure power is not applied to the MX250.

2.

Locate the removable fan tray (item 17 in figure 3-2) on the rear side of the MX250.

3.

Unscrew with a screwdriver the captive retaining screw on the face plate.

4.

Gently slide the fan tray out of the MX250 chassis.

5.

Locate the plastic battery slots between the fans. Identify the battery polarity markings.
