Power Systems Overview
The chassis power system provides power to chassis components and is made up of two AC or DC power
shelves that contain AC or DC power modules (PMs) and alarm modules.
The AC power system requires single-phase AC input power to the power shelves. If you have 3-phase AC
Delta or AC Wye at your equipment, a Cisco CRS power distribution unit (PDU) will be required to convert
3-phase AC input power to single-phase AC input power for the power shelf. The power system also includes
SNMP MIBS and XML support.
Note
In the AC power system, PDU refers to the Cisco CRS PDU which is required to convert 3-phase AC-Wye
or AC-Delta input power to single-phase AC input power for the AC power shelf. For further information
and installation instructions, refer to the Cisco CRS 3-Phase AC Power Distribution Unit Installation
Guide .
This section contains the following topics:
Basic Chassis Power Details
The Cisco CRS Series Enhanced 16-slot Line Card Chassis can be configured with either an AC-input power
system or a DC-input power system. Site power requirements differ, depending on the source voltage used.
Follow these precautions and recommendations when planning power connections to the router:
Check the power at your site before installation to ensure that you are receiving clean power. Install a
Install proper grounding to avoid damage from lightning and power surges.
•
The Cisco CRS Series Enhanced 16-slot Line Card Chassis requires that at least one power shelf and its
components be installed to operate properly; however, if you install only one power shelf and its components,
your system will not be 2N redundant.
Two types of power shelves exist: an AC shelf and a DC shelf. An AC power shelf houses the AC PMs, while
a DC power shelf houses the DC PMs. It is required that you use only one type of power shelf, either AC or
DC, in a chassis at a time.
Installing Power Components
Danger
The chassis might have more than one power connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize
the chassis. Statement 1028
Bonding and Grounding Guidelines
The router chassis has two safety earth ground connections. The chassis allows you to connect the central
office ground system or interior equipment grounding system to the bonding and grounding receptacles on
the router chassis. Threaded ground inserts are located on top of the chassis rear (MSC) side panel to the right
of the lower power shelf. There are also two sets of grounding studs located at the bottom of the rear (MSC)
side of the chassis.
Figure 1: NEBS Bonding and Grounding Points—Top Rear (MSC) Side of Chassis, on page 3 shows the
grounding points at the top on the rear (MSC) side of the chassis. This grounding point is also referred to as
the network equipment building system (NEBS) bonding and grounding point.
Note
These bonding and grounding receptacles are provided to satisfy the Telcordia NEBS requirements for
bonding and grounding connections.
Do not remove the chassis ground cable unless the chassis is being replaced.Caution

Bonding and Grounding Guidelines
Note
Two Torx security screws1
The two bolts below the NEBS bonding and grounding points at the top of the chassis are required for
proper bonding and grounding of the chassis and should not be removed.
The Cisco CRS Series Enhanced 16-slot Line Card Chassis DC power system can provide up to 16,800 watts
to power the chassis. However, by default, the power capability of a system when shipped, with six DC PMs
per power shelf, is 12,600 watts.
Installing Power Components
Note
Depending on the hardware deployed at your site, your system may not consume the maximum power
supplied by the power system.
Each DC powered chassis contains two DC power shelves for 2N redundancy. The shelves contain the input
power connectors. Each shelf can accept up to eight DC PMs. The power shelves and DC PMs are field
replaceable.
Figure 3: DC Power Shelf Cable Wiring for Power Shelf , on page 6 shows the cable wiring for the power
shelf.
Figure 3: DC Power Shelf Cable Wiring for Power Shelf
Each power shelf operates with up to eight DC inputs of –48/–60 VDC (nominal), 60A. The power shelf
accepts input DC power in the range –40 to –72 VDC.
Table 1: DC Input Current and Voltage Information, on page 7 lists the DC input current and voltage
–48 VDC North America–60 VDC European
Community(range: –40 VDC to –72 VDC)
Input line current
50 A maximum at –48 VDC40 A maximum at –60
VDC60 A maximum at –40 VDC
Each wiring block on the DC power shelf contains two sets of terminals, one positive and one negative, and
is covered by a plastic terminal block cover that is secured by a screw to a torque of 5 to 7 in.-lb (0.56 to 0.79
N-m). Each DC power cable is connected to the power shelf with a torque of 20 in.-lb (2.26 N-m). Maximum
wire size at the DC input terminal block is 2 AWG.
The power supply terminal posts are centered 0.63 inches (5/8 inch) (1.60 cm) apart and are M6-threaded.
We recommend that you use an appropriately sized 180-degree angle (straight) industry standard 2-hole,
standard barrel compression lug, as shown in Figure 4: DC Power Cable Lug, on page 7.

Card Chassis Specifications” or the Cisco CRS Series Carrier Routing System 16-Slot Line Card Chassis
System Description .
Input-Power-Present LEDs
The DC input-power-present LEDs provide a visual indication to service personnel that there is voltage present
across the input terminal connection.
Figure 5: Input-Power-Present LEDS, on page 8 shows the input-power-present LEDs on the rear of the
DC power shelf.
Figure 5: Input-Power-Present LEDS
Power should be disconnected before servicing the input power connection.Note
The input-power-present LED starts to light up when the input voltage reaches –20 VDC and the LED gets
brighter as voltage increases; the input-power-present LED is fully lit when the input voltage reaches –38
VDC.
Caution
If the input voltage polarity is reversed, or if the LED circuit fails, the LED will not light. When this is
the case, service personnel should check for hazardous voltages before working on the unit.
AC Power Systems
The Cisco CRS Series Enhanced 16-slot Line Card Chassis AC power system can provide up to 18,000 watts
to power the chassis. However, by default, the power capability of a system when shipped, with five AC PMs
per power shelf, is 15,000 watts.
Note
Depending on the hardware deployed at your site, your system may not consume the maximum power
supplied by the power system.
Each AC powered chassis contains two AC power shelves for 2N redundancy. The shelves contain the input
power connectors. Each shelf can contain up to six AC PMs. The power shelves and the AC PMs are field
replaceable.
The AC power system requires single-phase AC input power. If you have 3-phase AC Delta or AC Wye 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 and installation instructions, refer to the Cisco CRS
3-Phase AC Power Distribution Unit Installation Guide .
The AC power shelf has the following input VAC power requirements:
How to Install Power Components
Single-phase, 200 to 240 VAC nominal, 50 to 60 Hz, 16 A.
•
Each power shelf contains six IEC-320-C22 receptacles which can accept up to six IEC-320-C21
•
connector plugs.
Note
Note
If you have a Cisco CRS 3-Phase AC PDU installed, six AC PMs are required to be installed in each Cisco
CRS Series Enhanced 16-slot Line Card Chassis AC power shelf to maintain a balanced 3-phase power
load.
We recommend that you use appropriate short-circuit protection in compliance with national and local
electrical codes.

SUMMARY STEPS
DETAILED STEPS
Attach each unistrut to the top of the chassis by inserting four M12 hex head bolts and washers, two for each strut, into
the bolt holes on the inside of the strut, and tightening with the 8mm hex bit socket and ratchet wrench. The closed end
of a unistrut faces the front (PLIM) side of the chassis. See Figure 10: Attaching the Unistrut, on page 18.
Note
To attach the unistruts to the chassis, perform the following steps:
Attach each unistrut to the top of the chassis by inserting four M12 hex head bolts and washers, two for
