Inspect Shipment Sycamore Networks equipment is shipped in cardboard cartons with foam inserts to protect the units from shock and vibration during shipment. All products are shipped in separate shipping cartons, unless instructed otherwise.
Prior to Installation Site Preparations Site Preparations Before you install the DNX, contact your service provider to ensure that the proper transmission equipment and lines are installed. For LAN-based network management applications, the site must have at least one 10BaseT Ethernet network in place. Depending upon the application being supported, you may also need dial-in telephone lines.

DNX-11 Installation DNX-11 AC Power DNX-11 AC Power The AC-powered version of the DNX-11 contains two integrated 110/220VAC (auto-sensing) power supplies (part number MKT-006-11206). To take advantage of the redundant power supplies, the DNX-11 requires two 110VAC or 220VAC power connections. AC Power Requirements The AC model of the DNX-11 will automatically sense whether it is connected to 110VAC or 220VAC power, and adjust accordingly.
DNX-11 Installation DNX-11 AC Power Connecting AC Power to a DNX-11 An AC power supply requires an AC power cord with a three-prong grounded plug. This plug must be inserted into the three prong grounded receptacle (shown in Figure 10). Caution Do not use an adapter to connect the AC power cord to an ungrounded receptacle.
DNX-11 Installation DNX-11 DC Power DNX-11 DC Power The DC-powered version of the DNX-11 contains two integrated -48VDC power supplies (part number MKT-006-11048). To take advantage of the redundant power supplies, the DNX-11 requires two -48 volt DC power connections. DC Power Requirements The DNX-11 is designed to operate on -48 volt DC power, at a maximum of 3 amps, 200 watts.
DNX-11 Installation DNX-11 DC Power Connecting DC Power (-48VDC) to a DNX-11 Note: When powering the DNX-11 from a DC power source, use two separate fuse panels or a fuse panel with redundant (A and B) fuse positions. 1. Mount the unit in a rack as specified previously. 2.
