Chapter3 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements for a MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B Switch
DC power sources must be dedicated DC branch circuits. Each branch circuit must be protected by a
dedicated circuit breaker. The circuit breaker must have a rated trip delay time greater than that of the
MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B switch circuit breaker.
The MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B switch uses a 30-A, 1-pole circuit breaker with a short trip delay on
each –48 V input. It is recommended that the site have a dedicated 30-A, 1-pole circuit breaker with a
medium trip delay at each branch circuit.
Connect the safety grounding wire to a solid earth ground. It is re commended that you use a ring terminal
lug to terminate the ground conductor at the ground stud. For details, see the “Bonding and Grounding
the Cisco MGX System” section on page C-8.
Caution The –48 VDC return, logical grounds, and safety grou nds are connected to the equipment chassis;
therefore, you must use a low-impedance connector to connect the chassis ground to the earthing ground.
Note Connect the MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B switch only to a –48 VDC source that compl ies with the SELV
requirements in UL 1950, IEC 950, EN 60950, and CSA C22.2 N o. 950-95.
Power Consumption Calculation Tables
You can use Table 3- 20 to calculate the typical power requirement for a MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B
switch.
