Cisco MGX 8950 Switch
DC Power Entry Module
The MGX 8950 can accept power from a –48 VDC (–42 + –56 VDC) DC source that connects to one
(primary) or two (secondary/redundant) –48 VDC PEMs. Each primary or redundant DC source
connects to one DC PEM in the system. Each DC PEM accepts two 100 A service feeds from the same
DC source.

For a DC-powered system, the DC PEMs are installed at the back of the air intake plenum. If you install
only one DC PEM, install it on the bottom, as viewed from the rear of the air intake plenum.
