Power On
Now that you’ve installed your ACX7024 in the rack, let's connect it to power.
The ACX7024 supports DC power supplies that are pre-installed at the factory.
CAUTION: The connection between each power source and power supply module must include a
circuit breaker. We recommend that you use a customer-site 2-pole circuit breaker rated for 30A and
80V, or as required by local electrical code.
Do not connect two sources to a single power supply module because doing so can potentially cause
circulating current in feed wires whenever there is any difference in the voltage of the two sources.
The ACX7024 router operates with a DC power supply module that has a single, non-redundant, feed input. For source
redundancy, you'll need to install two DC power supplies in the ACX7024. Connect source (A) to one power supply
module and source (B) to the second power supply module. This configuration provides the commonly deployed A/B
feed redundancy for the system.
To meet safety and electromagnetic interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure proper operation, you'll need to
properly ground the router before connecting it to power. Have a licensed electrician attach the cable lug to the
grounding cable.
1.
Wrap and fasten one end of the ESD grounding strap around your bare wrist, and connect the other end of the
strap to a site ESD point.
2.
Connect the grounding cable to a proper earth ground.
3.
Place the grounding cable lug over the grounding points on the side of the chassis, and secure it with the grounding
screws. Apply 2.5 N-m of torque to the grounding screws.
