Description
Power access Each of the two PIU accesses one -48 V DC (or -60 V DC) power
supply for the equipment.
Power protection The PIU protects the power supply against overcurrent and short
circuit. In this way, the overcurrent is prevented from shocking
board and components on it.
Surge protection The PIU protects the equipment against lightning and reports an
alarm if the protection fails.
Power backup Two PIU boards can achieve 1+1 hot backup. One PIU is capable
of supplying power for the entire chassis.
2.2.3 Working Principle and Signal Flow
The PIU mainly consists of the surge protection and failure detection module, communication
unit module, slot ID module, and board in-position module.
