Installing an MX2020 Three-Phase Delta AC Power Distribution Module
Before you install a three-phase delta AC PDM, be aware of the following:
Before performing AC power procedures, disconnect all
power sources. To ensure that all power is off, locate the circuit
breaker on the panel board that services the AC circuit, switch the
circuit breaker to the OFF
position, and tape
the switch handle of the circuit breaker in the OFF
position.
To maintain proper cooling and prevent thermal shutdown of the operating power supply unit, each PDM slot must contain either a PDM or a blank panel. If you remove a PDM, you must install a replacement PDM or a blank panel shortly after the removal.
After powering off a PDM, wait at least 60 seconds before turning the circuit breaker back on.
The PDMs are hot swappable in a redundant configuration. However, you cannot switch from one type of PDU (AC or DC) to another while the system is on.
Each three-phase delta AC PDM weighs approximately 12 lb (5.44 kg). To install a three-phase delta AC PDM:
- Make sure that the voltage across the AC power source
cord is 0 V and that there is no chance that the cord might become
active during the installation process.
Note After powering off a PDM, wait at least 60 seconds before turning it back on.
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Pull the locking levers on either side of the faceplate away until they stop.
- Using both hands, slide the PDM into the chassis until you feel resistance (see Figure 1).
- Push the lock levers completely in until they make contact with the PDM faceplate.
- Tighten the two captive screws on the locking levers of the PDM faceplate to secure the PDM in the chassis. Apply between 10 lb-in. (1.13 Nm) to 12 lb-in. (1.35 Nm) of torque to each screw. Do not overtighten the screws.
- Using a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver, loosen the
four screws on the cover of the metal wiring compartment that protects
the AC terminal block.
Figure 1: Installing a Three-Phase Delta AC Power Distribution Module - Remove the cover of the metal AC wiring compartment.
- Unscrew the retaining nut from the AC power cord.
- Place the retaining nut inside the metal wiring compartment.
- Put the wires of the AC power cord through the hole of the retaining nut and rubber grommet.
- Put the wires of the AC power cord through the hole of the metal wiring compartment.
- Connect the wires to the AC terminal block on the three-phase
delta AC PDM (see Figure 2). Loosen each of the input terminals or grounding point screws,
and insert the wire into the grounding point or input terminal, and
tighten the screw (see Table 1 for approved AC wire gauge).
To insert wires into the terminal block that serves six PSMs:
Insert the grounding wire into the grounding point labeled
GND
.Insert the wire labeled
L1
into the input terminal labeledA1
.Insert the wire labeled
L2
into the input terminal labeledB1
.Insert the wire labeled
L3
into the input terminal labeledC1
.
Figure 2: Connecting Power to a Three-Phase Delta AC Power Distribution Module Note The three-phase delta AC PDM terminal blocks will be flipped depending on which slot the PDM gets plugged into.
Note The color of each AC power wire may vary. The MX2020 chassis is not sensitive to phase rotation sequence—either CW or CCW will operate correctly.
Caution Wire label configuration is for Juniper Networks supplied cable only. If using your own cable, make sure you use the proper connections.
To insert wires into the terminal block that serves three PSMs:
Insert the grounding wire into the grounding point labeled
GND
.Insert the wire labeled
L1
into the input terminal labeledA2
.Insert the wire labeled
L2
into the input terminal labeledB2
.Insert the wire labeled
L3
into the input terminal labeledC2
.
Note The terminal connections have either slotted screws or hex screws. Use a 1/4-in. slotted screwdriver for the slotted screws. Use a 5/32-in. (4 mm) Allen wrench for the 5/16-in. hex screws.
Warning To protect power supplies from input voltage that may be caused by miswired PDMs, before reinstalling the metal cover to the wiring compartment apply AC voltage to the PDM to make sure that two LEDs on the PDM are lit green and that the AC voltage between AC terminal blocks A1-B1, B1-C1, C1-A1, A2-B2, B2-C2, and C2-A2 for the three-phase delta PDM is not more than 264VAC when measured with a DVM. Then turn off the AC breaker de-energizing the PDM and install the metal cover.
Note Three-phase delta AC wire assembly kits can be purchased from Juniper Networks.
Table 1: Supported Three-Phase Delta AC Wire Gauge
Wire Gauge Description 4 x 6-AWG or equivalent
4 conductor wires, each wire is 6-AWG
Note We recommend that you use the proper gauge wire in order for the cable clamps to hold the AC cables. Using smaller gauge wiring will result in the cable clamps not tightening properly.
Warning Power connections must be performed by a licensed electrician only.
- Verify that the power cord wire connections are correct.
- Screw the retaining nut onto the AC power cord to secure it to the metal wiring compartment.
- Using a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver, tighten the four captive screws on the metal AC wiring compartment.
- Verify that the AC power cord is not touching or blocking access to router components, and that it does not drape where people could trip on it.
- Remove the ESD grounding strap from the ESD points on the chassis. Connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site.
- Connect the AC power cord plug to the power source.
- Switch on the customer site circuit breakers to provide voltage on the AC power cord.
- Remove the ESD grounding strap from the approved site ESD grounding point. See the instructions for your site. Reconnect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
- Verify that the LED on the PDM faceplate is lit steadily, indicating that the AC terminal block is receiving power.
