Installing Power Components
This chapter provides instructions on how to install and reinstall power components in the Cisco NCS 4009
chassis. It also covers connecting and disconnecting power and powering on the chassis.
The Cisco NCS 4009 chassis ships with power trays and power modules installed.
This chapter presents the following topics:
Power Connection Guidelines
You can configure the chassis with either an AC input or DC input power subsystem, so the site power source
requirements differ depending on the power subsystem in your chassis. Ensure all power connection wiring
conforms to the rules and regulations in the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as local codes.
Each power tray includes 4 power modules each. The chassis has two power trays for redundancies (each tray
can provide the full power to the chassis). The power tray provides electrical connections to the chassis
backplane. Each power module can be individually plugged in or out from the tray.

Each Cisco NCS 4009 chassis is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC) power
configuration is not supported.
Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges. See the
Unit Bonding and Grounding Guidelines, on page 5
for grounding requirements.

Summary of Contents for Cisco NCS 4009

  • Page 1 Each power module can be individually plugged in or out from the tray. Caution Each Cisco NCS 4009 chassis is powered by only one type of input: AC or DC. A hybrid (AC+DC) power configuration is not supported. Caution Proper grounding is necessary to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
  • Page 2 For a list of the nominal and acceptable value ranges for source AC power, see Power Specifications. The Cisco NCS 4009 chassis supports two types of AC power cords: International and NEMA (USA). Figure 1: International AC Power Cord (Cisco PID NCS4K-AC-CBL-IEC) Figure 2: NEMA AC Power Cord (Cisco PID NCS4K-AC-CBL-NEMA) Note Before connecting AC input power cords to the power system, make sure that the power cords are not energized.
  • Page 3 For DC power cables, we recommend 6 AWG high-strand-count copper wire cables, rated 75°C minimum. The size of the cables depends on your chassis location from the source power. Follow your local practices for determining cable size. DC power cables are not available from Cisco, but they are available from any commercial cable vendor.
