Wire Routing and Attachment for Cisco 2921 and Cisco 2951 Routers
Approved Scenarios and Scenarios Not Approved for Dual DC Power Supply Configuration on Cisco
2911, 2921, and 2951 Routers
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 (with respect to ground) and voltage (within 0.25 volts). Do not connect –DC grounded and +DC
grounded dual sources to Cisco 2911, Cisco 2921, and Cisco 2951 routers.
Caution
Dual sources with opposite-polarity grounding damage equipment.
In
Figure 3-23
, either the positive source terminal or the negative source terminal is tied to ground.
