AC-Input Power Supply Overview
The Cisco uBR7225VXR router is equipped with the 300W AC-input power supply and the maximum
AC-input power with single or dual power supply configuration is 300W.
The Cisco uBR7246 and Cisco uBR7246VXR routers are equipped with the 550W AC-input power
supplies and the maximum AC-input power with single or dual power supply configuration is 800W.
NoteTo ensure adequate airflow across the Cisco uBR7225VXR, Cisco uBR7246VXR, and Cisco uBR7246
universal broadband routers’ power supplies, a power supply or a power supply filler plate (with its
attached air dam) must be installed in each power supply bay.
Do not mix AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same Cisco uBR7246VXR or Cisco uBR7246
chassis.
Cisco uBR7225VXR
The power supply contains a main power switch, the OK LED, and the AC-input power receptacle. The
grounding lug at the rear-bottom portion of the Cisco uBR7225VXR chassis provides a ground
connection for electrostatic discharge (ESD) equipment.
The Cisco uBR7225VXR supports an optional, second power supply for load sharing and power
redundancy. If you purchased a Cisco uBR7225VXR and you want to install a second power supply, you
must order the second power supply separately.
A handle on the AC-input power supply unit provides a grip point for removing and replacing the power
supply. (Figure 1 shows the faceplate of the Cisco uBR7225VXR AC-input power supply.)
A single captive installation screw secures the power supply to the chassis and seats the power supply in
the router midplane. The AC-input power supply has a receptacle for an AC-input power cable. A
modular power cable connects the AC-input power supply to the site AC power source.
NoteThe AC-input power supply has an electrical current rating of 4A for the Cisco uBR7225VXR.

The Cisco uBR7225VXR power supply shuts itself down when the input AC voltage, the output DC
voltage, or the internal temperature of the chassis exceeds allowable tolerances. When this occurs, one
or both of the power supply front panel LEDs will turn red. The Cisco uBR7225VXR power supply must
then be reset by manually switching the power switch off and then back on to allow it to recover.
Cisco uBR7246 and Cisco uBR7246VXR
The power supply contains a main power switch, OK LED, and either an AC-input power receptacle, or
two hardwired DC-input power leads and three M5 grounding connectors (depending on the type of
installed power supply). Adjacent to the lower power supply bay, two M5 chassis grounding receptacles
provide a chassis ground connection for electrostatic discharge (ESD) equipment or a two-hole
grounding lug for the AC-input power supplies.
The Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR7246 support an optional, second power supply for load sharing
and power redundancy. If you purchased a Cisco uBR7246VXR or Cisco uBR7246 and you want to
install a second power supply, you must order the second power supply separately.
A handle on the AC-input power supply unit provides a grip point for removing and replacing the power
supply. (Figure 2 shows the faceplate of the Cisco uBR7246VXR and Cisco uBR7246 AC-input power
supply.)
Two captive installation screws secure the power supply to the chassis and seat the power supply in the
router midplane. A Power OK LED indicates that the power supply is delivering +5 VDC to the router
midplane.

Electrical Equipment Guidelines
Follow these basic guidelines when working with any electrical equipment:
• Before beginning any procedures requiring access to the chassis interior, locate the emergency
power-off switch for the room in which you are working.
• Disconnect all power and external cables before moving a chassis.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards such as moist floors, ungrounded power
extension cables, and missing safety grounds.
Telephone Wiring Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when working with any equipment that is connected to telephone wiring or
to other network cabling:
• Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

Preventing Electrostatic Discharge Damage
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) damages equipment and impairs electrical circuitry. ESD occurs when
printed circuit boards are improperly handled and results in complete or intermittent failures.
The I/O controller, network processing engine, cable modem cards, and port adapters consist of a printed
circuit board that is fixed in a metal carrier. Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, connectors,
and handle are integral components of the carrier. Handle the I/O controller, network processing engine,
cable modem cards, and port adapters by their carrier edges and handle only; never touch the printed
circuit board components or connector pins.
Although the metal carrier helps to protect the printed circuit boards from ESD, wear a preventive
antistatic strap whenever handling the network processing engine, I/O controller, cable modem cards, or
port adapters. Ensure that the strap makes good skin contact, and connect the strap’s clip to an unpainted
chassis surface to safely channel unwanted ESD voltages to ground. If no wrist strap is available, ground
yourself by touching the unpainted metal part of the chassis.
CautionMake sure to tighten the captive installation screws on the network processing engine, cable modem
cards, and I/O controller (use a number 2 Phillips screwdriver). These screws prevent accidental
removal, provide proper grounding for the router, and help to ensure that the network processing engine,
cable modem cards, and I/O controller are properly seated in the router midplane.
Installation Prerequisites
Following are guidelines for preventing ESD damage:
• Always use an ESD wrist strap or ankle strap when installing or replacing the I/O controller, network
processing engine, or port adapters. Ensure that the ESD strap makes contact with your skin.
• Handle the I/O controller, network processing engine, or port adapters by their metal carrier edges
and handles only; avoid touching the printed circuit board components or any connector pins.
• When removing the I/O controller, network processing engine, or port adapters, place them on an
antistatic surface with the printed circuit board components facing upward, or in a static shielding
bag. If you are returning an I/O controller, network processing engine, or port adapter to the factory,
immediately place it in a static shielding bag.
CautionPeriodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap. The measurement should be within the
range of 1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).
Ensuring Easy Access to the Router
If your Cisco uBR7200 series router is installed in a standard 19-inch-wide, four-post equipment rack or
telco-type equipment rack, cables from other equipment in the rack might obstruct access to the rear of
the router. Also, rack power strips or other permanent fixtures might obstruct access to the router. Review
the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack. If
the router is not installed in a rack, or if you already have clear access to the rear of the router, proceed
to the “Removing and Replacing an AC-Input Power Supply” section on page 8.
Use the following guidelines to ensure easy access to the rear of the router when it is installed in a rack:
78-4848-06
• Ensure that you have at least three to four feet of working space at the rear of the router.
• If cables from other equipment in the rack fall in front of the rear end of the router, carefully gather
the cables (using care not to strain them) and use cable ties to anchor them away from the rear of the
router.

• If access to the rear of the router is partially blocked by a power strip or some other permanent rack
fixture, detach the router from the rack and carefully slide it forward until there is enough clearance
to remove the power supply, the fan tray, the network processing engine, and the subchassis from
the router. Detailed steps for detaching the router from the rack are contained in the following
section, “Removing and Replacing an AC-Input Power Supply.”
CautionMake sure that at least one other person is available to support the front of the router as you slide it out
from the rack and, if necessary, to continue to support it while you remove and insert the power supply,
network processing engine, or subchassis.
Removing and Replacing an AC-Input Power Supply
The following sections explain how to remove and replace an AC-input power supply in a
Cisco uBR7200 series router for a single power supply configuration and a dual power supply
configuration.
CautionWhen the input power to a Cisco uBR7200 series power supply is disconnected or lost, the power supply
will enter a reset cycle for 90 seconds. Wait at least 90 seconds or move the power switch from one
position to the other to restart the power supply. For example, if the power supply was ON when the
power was disconnected or lost, move the power switch to the OFF position then back to the ON position.
If you do not wait the full 90 seconds or move the power switch from one position to the other, the power
supply will not restart. This caution note does not apply to the Cisco uBR7225VXR power supply.

Step 1Using a number 2 Phillips screwdriver, loosen the two captive installation screws on the faceplate of the
power supply. (See Figure 4.) Use the flat head or Phillips screw driver to fasten or losen the single screw
on the uBR7225VXR power supply.
If the router is not installed in a standard four-post or telco rack, skip to Step 5. If the router is installed
in a rack, determine if any permanent rack fixtures, such as a power strip, are obstructing access to the
power supply. If a rack fixture is obstructing access to the power supply, proceed with Step 2.

Step 2Using a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the screws that secure the router to the front mounting
strips of the rack.
Step 3Position at least one person in front of the rack to support the front underside of the router.
Step 4From the rear of the rack, carefully push the front of the router out of the rack until there is enough
clearance to remove the power supply from the router.
Step 5Grasp the power supply handle and pull the AC-input power supply from the router.
This completes the procedure for removing the AC-input power supply. Proceed to the following section,
“Installing the AC-Input Power Supply.”
Installing the AC-Input Power Supply
Step 1Make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the OFF (O) position.
Step 2Grasp the power supply handle with one hand and place your other hand underneath the power supply
for support. (See Figure 5.)
NoteIf you are adding a second power supply to a Cisco uBR7246VXR or Cisco uBR7246 that previously
only had one power supply installed, make sure the power supply filler plate and its attached air dam
have been removed from the power supply bay.
Removing and Replacing an AC-Input Power Supply
Step 3Align the power supply to the power supply bay.
Step 4Slide the power supply completely in to the power supply bay until its faceplate is flush with the router
rear panel.
CautionWhen inserting a power supply into the router, do not use unnecessary force; slamming the power supply
into the bay can damage the connectors on the rear of the supply and on the midplane.
Step 5Seat the power supply in the router by tightening its captive installation screws with a number 2 Phillips
screwdriver. Use the flat head or Phillips screw driver to fasten or losen the single screw on the
uBR7225VXR power supply.
NoteThe power supply is not fully seated in the router midplane until you tighten the captive installation
screws.
Step 6If you pushed the router forward in the rack, slowly guide the router back into the rack.
Step 7Use a 3/16-inch flat-blade screwdriver to tighten the screws that secure the router to the front mounting
strips of the rack.
This completes the procedures for installing the AC-input power supply in the router. Proceed to the
following section, “Reconnecting AC-Input Power”.

Plug the AC power supply cable into the AC power source.
NoteEach uBR7246 AC-input power supply operating at 120 VAC requires a minimum of 7A while
the uBR7225 AC-input power supply requires a minimum of 4A.
Step 5Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 if a second power supply is installed.
This completes the steps for reconnecting AC-input power. Proceed to the following section, “Turning
ON the Power Supply.”
Turning ON the Power Supply
Step 1Place the power switch on the newly installed power supply in the ON (|) position.
Step 2Observe the following:
• The green OK LED on the power supply goes on.
• The system continues to operate as normal.
This completes the procedures for turning on the power supply. This also completes the procedure for
removing and replacing the AC-input power supply in the Cisco uBR7200 series routers Cisco uBR7246
with a dual power supply configuration.
