Power ON your computer and wait until it boots to the Windows desktop.
Connecting Power to the Cisco uBR925 Router
This procedure connects the Cisco uBR925 Cable Access Router to its power supply and to the
grounded wall outlet supplying power to the unit. The cable access router is meant to be left on at all
times, and therefore, has no power switch.
Note
Always use the power supply unit that is supplied with the Cisco uBR925 Cable
Access Router.
Step 1
Connect the eight-pin connector on the power supply cable into the socket labeled “Power”
on the rear panel of Cisco uBR925 Cable Access Router. Push the plug into the connector
until it locks securely.
Step 2
Connect the plug end of the power cord into the other end of the power supply.
Step 3
Plug the prong end of the power cord into a grounded electrical wall outlet. Power is
immediately supplied to the cable access router.
Warning Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a
suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority
or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.
