Replacing an MX2000 Three-Phase Delta AC Power Distribution Module

Removing an MX2000 Three-Phase Delta AC Power Distribution Module

Before you remove a three-phase delta AC PDM, be aware of the following:

Warning:

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.

Warning:

Do not touch the power connectors on the PDM. They can contain dangerous voltages.

CAUTION:

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.

Note:

After powering off a PDM, wait at least 60 seconds before turning the circuit breaker to the ON position.

Note:

The MX2008, MX2010, and MX2020 routers support the same power modules (AC/DC PSMs and AC/DC PDMs).

To remove a three-phase delta AC PDM:

  1. 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 removal process.
  2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to an approved site ESD grounding point. See instructions for your site.
  3. Disconnect the AC power cord (see Figure 1) from the power source.
    Figure 1: Three-Phase Delta AC Power CordThree-Phase Delta AC Power Cord
  4. 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.
  5. Using a number 2 Phillips (+) screwdriver, loosen the four screws on the cover of the metal wiring compartment that protects the AC terminal block.
  6. Remove the cover of the metal AC wiring compartment.
  7. Disconnect the wires from 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 remove each wire form the grounding point or input terminal.

    To remove wires from the terminal block that serves six PSMs:

    1. Remove the wire labeled L3 from the input terminal labeled C1.

    2. Remove the wire labeled L2 from the input terminal labeled B1.

    3. Remove the wire labeled L1 from the input terminal labeled A1.

    4. Remove the grounding wire from the grounding point labeled GND.

    To remove wires from the terminal block that serves three PSMs:

    1. Remove the wire labeled L3 from the input terminal labeled C2.

    2. Remove the wire labeled L2 from the input terminal labeled B2.

    3. Remove the wire labeled L1 from the input terminal labeled A2.

    4. Remove the grounding wire from the grounding point labeled GND.

    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 might vary. The MX2000 chassis is not sensitive to phase rotation sequence—either clockwise or counterclockwise will operate correctly.

    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.

  8. Loosen the plastic cable tie fastening the AC power cord to the PDM.
  9. Loosen and remove the retaining nut from the AC power cord.
  10. Pull the AC power cord out of the metal wiring compartment.
  11. Carefully move the AC power cable out of the way.
  12. Disconnect both of the AC power cords from the AC PDM.
  13. Loosen the two captive screws on the locking levers of the PDM faceplate completely.
  14. Pull the locking levers on either side of the faceplate up to unseat the PDM.
  15. Grasp the levers on the PDM faceplate and pull firmly. Slide it halfway out of the chassis (see Figure 3, Figure 4 (MX2010), and Figure 5 (MX2008).
    CAUTION:

    Each three-phase delta AC PDM weighs approximately 12  lb (5.44 kg). Be prepared to support the full weight of the PDM as you remove it from the router.

  16. Place one hand underneath the PDM to support it, and slide it completely out of the chassis.

Before you install a three-phase delta AC power distribution module (PDM), be aware of the following:

Warning:

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.

CAUTION:

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.

Note:

After powering off a PDM, wait at least 60 seconds before turning the circuit breaker back on.

Note:

The PDMs are hot swappable in a redundant configuration. However, you cannot switch from one type of PDM (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:

  1. 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.
  2. Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding strap to your bare wrist, and connect the strap to one of the ESD points on the chassis.
  3. [Optional]—If you are switching from a DC PDM to an AC PDM, see Converting an MX2000 Router Between AC and DC Power for instructions on how to change the setting on the internal bar of the power distribution unit (PDU) cage to AC.
  4. Pull the locking levers on either side of the faceplate away until they stop.
  5. Using both hands, slide the PDM into the chassis until you feel resistance (see Figure 6Figure 7, and Figure 8).
  6. Push the lock levers until they make contact with the PDM faceplate.
  7. 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.
