In the DC power configuration, the router contains two DC power supplies (see
on page 72), located in the right rear of the chassis in slots
A single DC power supply provides sufficient power for a fully configured router.
Two DC power supplies share power almost equally within a fully populated system. If
either power supply fails, the remaining power supply takes over without interruption.
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a
dedicated 60 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker for the maximum router hardware configuration.
Most sites distribute DC power through a main conduit that leads to frame-mounted DC
power distribution panels, one of which might be located at the top of the rack that
houses the router. A pair of cables (one input and one return) connects each set of
terminal studs to the power distribution panel.
NOTE: If you plan to operate a maximally configured DC-powered router, we
recommend that you provision at least 60 A @ –48 VDC for the system. Use
a facility circuit breaker rated for 60 A (–48 VDC) minimum for each DC
power supply. Doing so enables you to operate the router in any configuration
without upgrading the power infrastructure.
If you plan to operate a DC-powered router at less than the maximum
configuration and do not provision a 60 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker, we
recommend that you provision a circuit breaker for each DC power supply
rated for at least 125% of the continuous current that the system draws at
–48 VDC.
