Connecting DC Power to the Cisco 10008 Router

This section describes how to connect the Cisco 10008 router to a –48 VDC power source. The power connectors are pillar terminals on the backplane. For full power redundancy, each set of DC power connectors (terminal blocks labeled A and B) must be connected to separate power sources. If you do not require power redundancy, you can use only one set of terminals—eitherthe A terminal block or the B terminal block. Do not use one of each.
