Cisco 7600 Series Router Installation Guide

Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Requirements
Table 2-20 provides a sample calculation of power and heat dissipation for the following router
configuration:
• Cisco 7603 Router chassis (including AC-input power supplies)
• One WS-X6K-S2U-MSFC2 supervisor engine
• Two 4-port OC-12 POS modules
Power Requirements
Warning
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source.
Follow these requirements when preparing your site for the router installation:
• The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the
chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.
• In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to
a separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power
failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
• To prevent a loss of input power, be sure that the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the
power supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
