Installing a NetIron XMR 16000 router
For information about powering on the system, refer to “Activating the power source” on page 187.
If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the router, make sure you
use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in
your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the router.
Connecting DC power
You can use a DC power for the NetIron XMR 16000router by installing a DC-to-DC power supply. DC power must be supplied at 48 V
and 30 A. The DC-to-DC power supply provides the DC power to the router at 12 V and 100 A.
The procedure in this section is for qualified service personnel.
Follow these steps to connect a DC power source.
1. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the two screws that hold the transparent cover over the power supply lugs, as shown in
Figure 114.

2. Remove the transparent plastic cover.
3. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the power lugs, as shown in Figure 114.
4. Crimp the correct AWG wire into the power lugs and reconnect the lugs to the power supply unit:
For 1200 W power supply, crimp #8 AWG
For 1800 W power supply, crimp #6 AWG
For the NEBS-compliant installation of NetIron XMR 4000, 8000, and 16000 routers with AC and DC
systems, use a ground wire of at least 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG). The ground wire should have an
agency-approved crimped connector (provided with the device) attached to one end, with the other end
