25.6 Power Connection Module (PCM)
The Power Connection Module is an optional module that provides power connections to the
backplane from any rack slot. In the unlikely event of a partial RCM failure, you can use the PCM to
maintain rack power while hot swapping the RCM.
The PCM is not designed to provide permanent power redundancy. It is for temporary power in very
rare situations. Power redundancy to the VC-8000 rack is provided by the two external power
supplies.
Figure 25-4) Connecting the Same Power Supply to RCM and PCM
You can connect power to both the RCM and the PCM as shown in Figure 25-4. The total power
provided into either Power 1 or Power 2 must be fused or current limited at 10 A to prevent exceeding
system ratings on an electrical failure.
NOTE!
The PCM is not designed as a redundant power supply for the rack. It is designed as
temporary power in very rare situations.
