Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements
Depending on your configuration type, plan accordingly so that the CO rack accommodates your needs.
Use Table 2-2 to calculate the rack space necessary for your Cisco 6260 system configuration.
2.2.2 Power Requirements
The CO power source or rectifier supplies external power to the system as –48V direct current (DC) from
the fuse and alarm panel. Power connections from the fuse and alarm panel are wired separately to the
Cisco 6260 chassis. Connections for single- and dual-power feeds are provided. The power input
connections are redundant, and only one is required for system operation. The nominal voltage is –48
VDC; the minimum operating value is –36 VDC; and the maximum operating value is –60 VDC.
Caution Before you connect the system to a power source, verify that the power source is properly grounded and
that it falls within the internal power supply rating.
The typical power required for your Cisco 6260 system will depend on your configuration type. Use
Table 2-3 to calculate the power required for each of the Cisco 6260 system components and the total
power required for the system.

.
2. See the documentation that accompanied the third-party POTS splitter to determine the number of RUs required. One RU is equal to 1.75
inches (4.45 cm).
4
Multiply 13.43 RUs by the total number of chassis on line 1.
5
Multiply line 3 by the total number of POTS splitters on line 2.
6
Add lines 4 and 5 for the total number of RUs needed with your Cisco 6260 with a POTS
splitter configuration.
Cisco 6260 without a POTS Splitter Configuration
6
Total number of Cisco 6260 chassis in the rack.
7
Multiply 13.43 RUs by the total number of chassis on line 6 for the total number of RUs needed with
your Cisco 6260 without a POTS splitter configuration.

Line Instructions Calculation
1
If you are using 4xDMTs, multiply 16.5W by the total number of 4xDMTs installed in the
chassis.
2
If you are using 4xDMT over ISDNs, multiply 16.5W by the total number of 4xDMT over
ISDNs installed in the chassis.
