Connecting Backup Power

Cisco IAD2430 series IADs can be installed with optional backup power. Backup power to a DC-powered IAD is provided by a battery backup system; see the “Connecting a Backup Battery to a DC-Powered IAD” section on page 3-33section for connection instructions. Backup power to an AC-powered IAD is provided by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS); see the “Connecting an Uninteruptible Power Supply UPS to an AC-Powered Cisco IAD2430 Series IAD” section on page 3-34for connection instructions.

Note UPS functionality is not available on the IAD2435 IAD.

Caution The Cisco IAD2430 series IAD chassis provides inputs for both AC and DC power. Design your installation to use only one type of power. Do not use AC and DC power at the same time. If you do, the unit stops operating, and you must reboot it with only a single power source.

See Table 3-6for the maximum power requirements for each Cisco IAD2430 IAD model.
