I download all manual from http://www.mikrotik.com and read it

I setup the jumper to use a POE
I insert the ubiquity SR2 at 532A routerboard
I conect the 532A routerboard POE with a 9V adapter(i have)
I connect to the 532A with a null modem cable and is ok
I download from mikrotik routeros 2.9.4 upgrade files
I upgrade the 532A routerOS to 2.9.4 and is OK
I setup the 532A and is ok
I connect it to internet and is OK
I share internet over Ethernet ports and is ok :D

************** **************************
BUT

I try to setup my SR2 and isn't function :x
because the SR2 is NOT in a device list
I shutdown 532A
then i insert the sr2 in back side of 532A and turn on
532A is ok
but the SR2 is NOT in a device list :x

then i shutdown the 532A

I have used for two days OK but with out SR2
I read the manual again to try setup SR2 again

You power adapter is definitely too low voltage! This will lead to instability, not booting, whatever error you can imagine ;-)

You have to use 12V at least, although only yesterday I had some funny issues with 12V, too. Try to use at least a 15-18V power adapter, and your problems will most probably go away!

Let us know how it goes!

Best regards,
