Understanding Redundant Power Supplies
Inspect redundant power supplies to ensure that they distribute power to the other
router components according to their voltage requirements.
With redundant power supplies, two power supplies are installed in a router and
perform load sharing during normal operation. When one power supply fails or is
switched off, the other power supply immediately and automatically assumes the
entire electrical load. Table 112 lists some router characteristics for each M-series
router platform type.
The power supplies are internally connected to the midplane, which delivers the
power input from the circuit breaker box and distributes the different output
voltages produced by the power supplies to the router's components, depending on
their voltage requirements.

Two load-sharing, isolated power supplies are located at the bottom rear of the M5
and M10 router chassis. The routers use either AC or DC power. Figure 199 shows
the M5 and M10 router power supplies and where they are installed in the chassis.
