Chapter 3 Installing the Router
Connecting Power to the Router
The alarm subconnectors can be used to connect the router to an external site
alarm maintenance system. Any critical, major, and minor alarms generated by the
router also energize alarm relays on the alarm card and activate the external site
alarm. The alarm relay contacts on the alarm card consist of standard
common ,
normally open , and normally closed relay contacts that are wired to Alarm A and
Alarm B connector pins.
Table 2-13 on page 2-43 lists the pin-to-signal correspondence between the
connector pins and the alarm card relay contacts. Because alarm contact cables are
entirely dependent on installation site circumstances, alarm connector cables are
not available from Cisco. For information about alarm connector wiring
requirements and the pinouts for the alarm connector interface, see the
“Alarm
Display Connection Guidelines” section on page 2-42 .
Caution
Only safety extra-low voltage (SELV) circuits can be connected to the alarm
connector. Maximum rating for the alarm circuit is 2 A, 50 VA.
Note To comply with Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS standard for electromagnetic
compatibility and safety, you must use a shielded cable when connecting to the
external alarm ports on the alarm card. The shielded cable is terminated by
shielded connectors on both ends, with the cable shield material tied to both
connectors.
Connecting Power to the Router

Caution
A router must be operated with both of its power modules installed at all times for
electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
