In the DC power configuration, the router contains two DC power supplies (see Figure 1), located in the right rear of the chassis in slots PEM0 and PEM1 (left to right). A single DC power supply provides sufficient power for a fully configured router.
Two DC power supplies share power almost equally within a fully populated system. If either power supply fails, the remaining power supply takes over without interruption.
Each DC power supply has a single DC input (–48 VDC and return) that requires a dedicated 60 A (–48 VDC) circuit breaker for the maximum router hardware configuration. .
