CAUTION
For the DC input circuit (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), make sure there is a Listed 20
amp circuit breaker, minimum 48Vdc, double pole, on the input to the power supply. The input
wiring for connection to the product should be Listed copper wire, 12 AWG, marked VW-1, and
rated minimum 90 C.
CAUTION
For a DC system (DC power supply part number RPS9-DC), use a grounding wire of at least 6
American Wire Gauge (AWG). The 6 AWG wire should be attached to an agency-approved crimp
connector, crimped with the proper tool.
Installation site preparation
Cabling infrastructure
Ensure that the proper cabling is installed in the site. Refer to “Hardware specifications” on
page 105 or www.brocade.com for a summary of supported cabling types and their specifications.
DANGER
The intra-building ports of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building ports of the equipment or
subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its
wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4
ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation from the exposed OSP
cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to connect these
interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Installation location
Before installing the device, plan its location and orientation relative to other devices and
equipment. Allow at least 3 in. of space at the front of the device for the twisted-pair, fiber-optic,
and power cabling. Also, allow a minimum of 3 in. of space between the sides and the back of the
device and walls or other obstructions.
A NetIron CES 2000 or NetIron CER 2000 is suitable for installation in Network
Telecommunications facilities and locations where the NEC (National Electric Code) apply.
The device must be installed in a restricted access location, either a Central Office or
customer-premises equipment location.
