    This section provides instructions for attaching the power cables to the router and powering on the router. The Cisco 7304 router comes with either an AC or DC power supply. A redundant AC or DC power supply option is available.
  • Page 23 Warning When installing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. The color coding of the DC-input power supply leads depends on the color coding of the DC power source at your site. Note Typically, green or green/yellow is used for ground. Make certain the lead color coding you choose for the DC-input power supply matches lead color coding used at the DC power source.
