Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT:
•
The barcode on the router chassis contains product information that must be provided to local sales
agent before you return a faulty router for service.
•
Keep the tamper-proof seal on a mounting screw on the chassis cover intact, and if you want to open
the chassis, contact H3C for permission. Otherwise, H3C shall not be liable for any consequence.

If the router cannot be powered on and LEDs on the front panel are off, it indicates that the power
supply is faulty.
