Appliance Placement in a Rack

operate it in an area that exceeds an ambient temperature of 104°F (40°C).

  •

Air Flow—Be sure that there is adequate air flow around the appliance. 

  •

Mechanical Loading—Be sure that the appliance is level and stable to avoid 
any hazardous conditions.

Plug In the Appliance

Plug the female end of each straight power cable into the redundant power 
supplies on the back panel of the appliance.

Plug the male end(s) into an electrical outlet.

Temporarily Change Your IP Address for Remotes 
Access

To remotely configure the Cisco C390 using the network connection, you must 
temporarily change the IP address of your computer. Alternatively, you can use 
the serial console to configure the Cisco C390, without changing the IP address. 
If you use the serial console, proceed to section 8 below.

Note

Make a note of your current IP configuration settings because you will 
need to revert to these settings after you finish the configuration.
