Connecting Routers To The Cisco Redundant Power System - Cisco 3745 Quick Start Manual

Crimp the terminals onto the DC power input wires.
Step 3
Warning When stranded wiring is required, use approved wiring terminations, such as closed-loop or spade-type with
upturned lugs. These terminations should be the appropriate size for the wires and should clamp both the
insulation and conductor. Statement 1002
Remove the plastic cover from the terminal block. Save it for reinstallation after you finish wiring.
Step 4
Connect the DC power input wires to the terminal block, as shown in Figure 6.
Step 5
Warning The illustration shows the DC power supply terminal block. Wire the DC power supply as illustrated. The proper
wiring sequence is ground to ground, positive to positive, and negative to negative. The ground wire should always
be connected first and disconnected last. Statement 239
Warning An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no
exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the terminal block plug. Statement 122
Do not overtorque the terminal block screws. The recommended torque is 8.0 ± 0.5 in-lb (0.9 ± 0.05 N-m).

Install the plastic cover over the terminal block.
Step 6
Warning The safety cover is an integral part of the product. Do not operate the unit without the safety cover installed.
Operating the unit without the cover in place will invalidate the safety approvals and pose a risk of fire and
electrical hazards. Statement 117
Secure the wires using cable ties.
Step 7
If your router has a second power supply installed, repeat Step 1 through Step 7 for the second power supply.
Step 8
Turn on power to the DC circuit.
