Converting a Chassis from Fixed Configuration Power to Modular Configuration Power

Caution Use only one type of modular configuration power shelf—AC or DC—and its mating AC or DC PM in a chassis at one time.

Converting a Chassis from Fixed Configuration Power to Modular Configuration Power

Caution Do not attempt to convert from fixed configuration power to modular configuration power while the Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis is powered up and running. Ensure that you have powered down the system and all power is disconnected from the system.

This section lists the steps to be performed to convert the Cisco CRS 8-Slot line card chassis from fixed configuration power to modular configuration power.

To convert a Cisco CRS 8-slot line card chassis from fixed configuration power to modular configuration power, you must:

Step 1 Power down the chassis completely.

Step 2 Remove the DC PEMs or AC rectifiers. See the “Removing a DC PEM or AC rectifier” section on page 2-23.

Step 3 For fixed configuration DC only, first remove the DC wiring, and then the ground cable from the rear of the PDUs. See the “Removing DC PDU Wiring” section on page 2-21.

Step 4 Remove the PDUs. See the “Removing a PDU” section on page 2-17.

Step 5 Install the new modular configuration power shelf. See “Installing a Modular Configuration Power Shelf” section on page 2-26.

Note Do not connect ground cables directly to a modular configuration power shelf. For more information, see the “Bonding and Grounding Guidelines” section on page 2-4.

Step 6 Install the power shelf wiring. See the section “Installing AC Power Cords or DC Power Shelf Wiring” section on page 2-35.

Note If you are converting from fixed configuration AC or DC power to modular configuration AC power, and if you have 3-phase AC Delta or AC Wye power at your equipment, a Cisco CRS PDU will be required to convert 3-phase AC input power to single-phase AC input power for the power shelf. For further information, refer to Cisco CRS 3-Phase AC Power Distribution Unit Installation Guide.

Step 7 Install the PMs. See the section “Installing AC or DC PMs” section on page 2-40.

Step 8 Power the chassis back up. See the “Power Up and Power Down a Chassis with a Modular Configuration AC or DC Power Shelf” section on page 2-51.
