Once everything is properly connected, be sure to follow the procedure below to turn on their power. If you turn on equipment in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction or equipment failure.
When turning the power on: Turn on the CUBE-10GX last. When turning the power off: Turn off the CUBE-10GX first.
