Installing a NetIron XMR 8000 router
e
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.
For information about powering on the system, refer to “Activating the power source” on page 185.
Connecting DC power
You can supply DC power to your router using a DC-to-DC power supply. DC power must be supplied at 48 V and 40A for 1200W
power supplies and 48 V and 60A for 1800W power supplies. The 1200 W DC-to-DC supply provides the DC power to the router at 12
V and 100 A. The 1800W DC-to-DC supply provides the DC power to the router at 12 V and 150 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 107.
2. Remove the transparent cover.
