28 • Powering the ULTRIX-FR12 ULTRIX-FR12 Installation Guide (v4.0)
Cabling the Ultripowers to the ULTRIX-FR12
There are 16 PSU sockets organized into 4 groups on the back of each ULTRIX-FR12. Each PSU group
connects to one Ultripower Rack Mount Power Supply unit. Each Ultripower is a 1RU 1200W power
supply specifically designed for the Ultrix series routers. Powering an ULTRIX-FR12 from individual
power supplies is not supported.
Verify the Output State of each Ultripower
Before connecting the ULTRIX-FR12 to the Ultripowers, you must first verify that the Output state of
each Ultripower is set to Off. Once all Ultripowers are connected to the ULTRIX-FR12, you must
toggle the Ultripower Group to ON.
To verify that the Ultripower group state is toggled to Off
1. Locate the Ultricore BCS node in the Tree View of DashBoard.
2. Expand the main Ultricore BCS node.
3. Expand the Ultricore BCS sub-node to display a list of sub-nodes in the Tree View.
4. Expand the Devices sub-node.
5. Double-click the Ultripower Manager sub-node.
6. From the Group list, select the required Ultripower group.
7. Click OFF.
8. Verify that each Ultripower is the same state (Off). Refer to the Ultripower User Guide for
details.
Cabling the Ultripowers to the ULTRIX-FR12
For redundancy, each Ultripower may be fitted with an additional power supply module
(ULTRIPOWER-PS). Refer to the Ultripower User Guide for details.
To cable the primary and second Ultripowers to the ULTRIX-FR12
1. To connect the primary Ultripower to the ULTRIX-FR12:
a. Connect the ends of four power cables to the primary Ultripower rear panel OUT sockets.
b. Connect the free ends of the same power cables to the ULTRIX-FR12 rear panel.
2. To connect the second Ultripower to the ULTRIX-FR12:
a. Connect the ends of four power cables to the second Ultripower rear panel OUT sockets.
b. Connect the free ends of the same power cables to the ULTRIX-FR12 rear panel.
To cable additional Ultripowers (optional)
This procedure is only required for high power configurations or for further isolated power
redundancy.
Notice — The Ultripower group must be set to OFF before connecting to the ULTRIX-FR12.
Notice — Ensure that the power cable end with the ferrite bead connects to the Ultripower port.
