provides 12 V of power to the system. The power supply in a PTX10001-36MR is a hot-removable and
hot-insertable eld-replaceable unit (FRU). Aer removing the power cord from an individual power
supply, you can remove and replace it without powering o the router or disrupng router funcons.
CAUTION: Do not mix AC/HVDC and DC power supplies in the same chassis.
NOTE: Each power supply must be connected to a dedicated power source outlet.
