Releases 2 - 5.2, Part Number OL-4545-01, Rev. H0, May 2006
Chapter5 Installing the Cisco MGX Switch or Gateway
Installing the MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B Switch
Step8 If you have a redundant DC PEM installed in your MGX 8830, repeat Step 1 through Step 7 for the
second DC PEM.
Step9 Before you turn on the system power, check the supply voltage.
The screws at positions 1 and 3 on the pluggable terminal block are convenient measuring points. Also,
check the impedance between the safety ground (screw at location 2 on the pluggable termi nal block)
and the chassis. It should be close to 0.
Step10 Verify that the DC PEM circuit breakers are in the OFF position.
Step11 Turn on the source power, and check the voltage at the screws at positions 1 and 3 on the pluggable
terminal block for all installed PEMs.
Step12 Turn off the source power and proceed to the “Install the Cable Management Assembly” section on
page 5-122.
Step13 Turn on the power source and turn the power switch on.
Step14 Verify that the fans are running by listening or feelin g for air movement. The following LEDs should
be lit:
•The AC and DC LEDs on each power supply should be green.
•The DC OK LED on each DC PEM should be green.
•The Status LED on the PXM1Es should be green.
•The Standby LED on each service module should be yellow.
Connect the External Clock
This step is optional. For information, see “Connect the External Clock” section on page B-7.
Connect the Alarms
Note This step is optional.
Dry contact relay closures are available for forwarding MGX 8830 switch alarms to an alarm syste m.
Separate visual and audible alarm outputs are available for critic al, major, and minor alarm outputs, and
the outputs are provided through the use of a DB-15 connector on the PXM user interface back card
(PXM-UI-S3 and PXM-UI-S3/B).
Complete the following steps to connect the external clock:
Step1 Verify that you have a PXM-UI-S3 or PXM-UI-S3/B back card installed in slots 1 and 2 in the rear bay
of the switch.
Step2 Connect the DB-15 cable to the ALARM port on the PXM-UI-S3 or PXM-UI-S3/B back card.
Note See AppendixB, “Cable Specifications” for cable requirements.
Step3 Connect the other end of the cable to the alarm source.
