Warning
This product relies on the building’s installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that
the protective device is rated not greater than:
15A, 120VAC (16A, 240VAC).
Statement 1005
Connecting to DC Power
If your router has a DC-input power supply, follow the directions in this section for proper wiring. A
router with a DC-input power supply has a terminal block for the DC power connections. If backup
power is required, see the
“Connecting to Backup Power”
section.

Statement 1025
DC Wiring Requirements for Cisco 2911, 2921, and 2951 Routers
A Cisco 2911, Cisco 2921, or Cisco 2951 router with a DC-input power supply requires copper wire and
crimp-type terminals for the power connections.
Table 3-1
and
Table 3-2
summarize the wiring
requirements.
You can connect a single DC power source to either the A input or the B input. If there are dual power
sources, connect one source to the A input and one source to the B input; both sources must be the same
polarity and voltage.
