Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Routers

When the Cisco XR 12406 Router operates with an AC PDU, observe these guidelines:

•Original series Cisco XR 12406 routers: A power factor corrector (PFC) allows the power supply to accept AC power source voltage from an AC power source operating from 100 to 120 VAC 20-amp service in North America, and a range of from 185 to 264 VAC 16-amp service in an international environment.

•Enhanced series Cisco XR 12406 routers: Supports 220 VAC only which requires 20-amp service in North America, and 16-amp service in an international environment.

•Use only the 14-foot (4.3-meter) AC power cords shipped with the system.

•Provide a dedicated power source with its own circuit breaker for each AC-input power supply installed in the router.

•Install an uninterruptable power source where possible.

Power plug types used in North America, Australia, and Europe are described in Table 2-1 and shown in Figure 2-3.
