DC Power Entry Module (PEM)
The Cisco MGX 8880 gateway can accept power from a –48 VDC (–42 to –56 VDC) source that
connects to one (primary) or two (secondary/redundant) –48 VD C PEMs. Each DC PEM must be
connected to a dedicated 60 A regulated source. Figure 1-51 shows a close-up of the DC PEM faceplate.
Figure1-51 DC PEM Faceplate
For a DC-powered system, the DC PEMs are installed at the back of the air intake plenum. If you install
only one DC PEM, install it on the right, as viewed from the rear of the air intake plenum.
(See Figure 1-52.)
