Connect DC Power to the PTX10001-36MR
Before you begin connecng DC power to the PTX10001-36MR:
• Read "General Electrical Safety Guidelines and Warnings" on page 171, "Acon to Take Aer an
Electrical Accident" on page 172, and the following warnings:
• "DC Power Electrical Safety Guidelines" on page 176
• "DC Power Copper Conductors Warning" on page 177
• "DC Power Disconnecon Warning" on page 178
• "DC Power Grounding Requirements and Warning" on page 179
• "DC Power Wiring Sequence Warning" on page 180
• "DC Power Wiring Terminaons Warning" on page 181
• Ensure that you have taken the necessary precauons to prevent electrostac discharge (ESD)
damage (see "Prevenon of Electrostac Discharge Damage" on page 173).
CAUTION: Before you connect DC power to the PTX10001-36MR, a licensed
electrician must aach a cable lug to the grounding and power cables that you supply.
A cable with an incorrectly aached lug can damage the router (for example, by
causing a short circuit).
NOTE: To meet safety and electromagnec interference (EMI) requirements and to ensure
proper operaon, you must connect the chassis to earth ground before you connect it to
power. For installaons that require a separate grounding conductor to the chassis, use the
protecve earthing terminal on the PTX10001-36MR chassis to connect to the earth ground
(see "Connect the PTX10001-36MR to Ground" on page 86).
• Install the DC power supply in the chassis. See "Maintain the PTX10001-36MR Power Supplies" on
page 108. The baery returns of the DC power supply must be connected as an isolated DC return
(DC-I).
• Ensure that you have the following parts and tools available:
• ESD grounding strap (provided)
• Phillips (+) screwdriver, 1/4-in., with a torque range between 6 lb-in. (0.68 Nm) and 7 lb-in. (0.79
Nm) (not provided)
