  • Page 18: Powering The Mse 8000

    The MSE 8000 requires DC power in the range -48V to -60V nominal (refer to ratings). If DC within this range is available at your facility, refer to Connecting DC power to the MSE 8000 on page 23. Otherwise, use Cisco-supplied AC to DC power shelves as described in the following section.
  • Page 19 Powering the MSE 8000 The MSE 8000 will operate correctly with only one AC to DC power shelf. However, Cisco recommends using two power shelves each with an independent AC input for maximum redundancy. Figure 10 shows two power shelves each with two rectifier modules.
  • Page 20 Each power shelf is supplied with one red and one black power cable which you should connect as described below: The color coding of DC power cables is not generally standardized. Cisco supplies one black and one red cable with each power shelf. Unless national or local regulations apply, assign these to the -VDC and RTN connections according to usual practice at your facility.
  • Page 21 Before connecting an AC power shelf to the MSE 8000, you must read the documentation provided by the power shelf manufacturer. Figure 12 shows how to connect the Cisco supplied DC power cables to the power shelf. Figure 12: Connecting the DC power cables to the power shelf...
  • Page 22 Powering the MSE 8000 Step three: AC to DC power shelf serial connections The Supervisor input/output panels on the rear of the MSE 8000 chassis each provide two serial ports. These serial ports enable the Supervisor to monitor the power shelves. The two serial ports for Supervisor A connect to the Supervisor blade in slot 1.

  • Page 24 Powering the MSE 8000 Connecting the power cables to the MSE 8000 The MSE 8000 will operate correctly with only one DC power feed. However, Cisco recommends using independent power feeds to the A and B inputs for maximum redundancy. Connect DC power cables as shown in Figure 13.
  • Page 25 Powering the MSE 8000 To connect DC power cables to the MSE 8000: Using a TORX T20 screwdriver, remove the four screws that secure the transparent cover at the rear of the chassis; remove the transparent cover. Using the same screwdriver, attach the cable-support bracket to the rear of the MSE 8000, directly beneath the DC power terminals, using the four supplied screws.
