Cuda 12000 IP Access Switch Installation Guide
Connecting Power 109
Connecting Power
This section provides safety information and procedures for connecting your
Cuda 12000 to power sources. You must wire power sources to both the
chassis and fan tray assembly independently. Both the chassis and fan tray
can support connections to two separate power sources. Redundant power
sources ensure that power to the system continues uninterrupted in the
event that one power source fails.
The system (full chassis and single fan tray) supports a maximum power
consumption of 1100W and supports connection to two DC -48V (-42 to
-68 VDC) power sources.
Consider the following when cabling power:
■ ADC recommends that you wire the chassis and fan tray to the same
power source. This is to reduce the risk of creating a condition in which
the chassis operates while the fan tray does not provide cooling.
■ Both the chassis and the fan tray support connection to two power
sources, referred to as power sources A and B. ADC recommends that
you utilize both A and B power sources for increased fault tolerance. In
this suggested setup, power source A connectors from both the fan tray
and chassis are connected to a single power source; power source B
connectors from both the fan tray and chassis are connected to another
power source.
