Juniper MX2020 Hardware Manual page 226

NOTE: Depending on the voltage of the DC feeds, power can be drawn from both feeds. The
feed with higher voltage provides more power. If the difference between the voltages is sufficient,
then the higher voltage feed provides all the power. When the voltages are exactly the same,
equal power is drawn from both feeds.
Each set of power cables powers a single DC PSM and is capable of delivering 2500 W of power. If feeds
that connect to one PDM fail in a redundant configuration, the other feed provides full power.
Figure 75 on page 204 shows a typical DC source cabling arrangement.

All DC PSMs in a subsystem share the load (nine PSMs on the top half share the load, as well as the nine
PSMs on the bottom share the load). If one PSM fails in a redundant configuration, the remaining PSMs
provide power to FRUs. Up to eighteen PSMs may be required to supply power to a fully configured router.
Nine PSMs in the lower card cage supply power to the two CB-REs (active and redundant), eight SFBs,
lower ten MPCs, two lower fan trays and one fan tray on the top half. Nine PSMs in the upper card cage
supply power to the two upper fan trays, upper ten MPCs, two CB-REs (active and redundant), eight SFBs,
and a fan tray in the lower card cage. A portion of power from each zone is reserved to power critical
FRUs. These FRUs allow the system to operate even if power to a complete zone fails.
CAUTION:
The power source cables might be labeled (+) and (-) to indicate their polarity. There
is no standard color coding for DC power cables. The color coding used by the external
DC power source at your site determines the color coding for the leads on the power
cables that attach to the 240 V China PDM power cable.
