Installing DC Fuse Panels


This chapter describes and illustrates how to install DC fuse panels in Cisco AccessPath-TS and AccessPath-TS3 Model 530 Integrated Access Systems. Use this document with the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 530 Integrated Access System Hardware Installation Guide and with the Regulatory Compliance And Safety Information Document that accompanied your system.

The DC fuse panels provide either single or multiple DC power feeds for your system. Each side of a DC fuse panel can accept 50 amps of continuous input power at -48 volts DC. If multiple feeds are used, a common ground is required for safe operation.

If an system is configured for DC power, the power is supplied to the shelves through 2 DC fuse panels (see Figure 1-1), which are mounted at the top of the AccessPath rack. The DC fuse panels are shipped with the Cisco AccessPath-TS Integrated Access System, but might not be mounted in it. In AccessPath-TS3 Model 530 Integrated Access System, the DC fuse panels are factory-installed.


Note      Your DC fuse panel might look slightly different, but its functionality is the same as the panel described and illustrated below.



Figure 1-1   DC Fuse Panels—Front View


The DC fuse panels distribute DC power from the primary input feed(s) to all internal power components in the system. Individual GMT-style protection fuses are provided at the power supply level for component protection on each of the internal circuits.

DC fuse panel installation is described in detail in the following sections:

In addition, refer to the DC fuse panel cabling chapter appropriate to your system:

Safety with Electricity


Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

This equipment is intended to be grounded. Ensure that the host is connected to earth ground during normal use.

Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces, and watches). Metal objects will heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or weld the metal object to the terminals.

Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this unit.

A readily accessible two-pole disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available.

Follow these guidelines when working on equipment powered by electricity:

  • Locate the emergency power-OFF switch in the room in which you are working. Then, if an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly shut the power OFF.
  • Disconnect all power before you:
    • Install or remove a chassis
    • Work near power supplies
  • Do not work alone if conditions are potentially hazardous.
  • If your work area has potential hazards, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension cables, and missing safety grounds, eliminate all hazards before working there.
  • Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit. Always check.
  • If an electrical accident occurs, proceed as follows:
    • Use caution; do not become a victim yourself.
    • Turn OFF power to the system.
    • If possible, send another person to get medical aid. Otherwise, determine the condition of the victim and then call for help.
    • Determine if the person needs rescue breathing or external cardiac compressions; then take appropriate action.

Required Tools and Equipment

The following items are included with each DC fuse panel:

  • Two 19-inch rack-mount brackets
  • 4 screws

To install the DC fuse panels, you will also need the following tools and equipment (which are not included):

  • Flat-blade screwdriver
  • 3/8-inch nut driver
  • Eight 10/32 screws for installing the DC fuse panels in the system cabinet
  • Sufficient length of 6-gauge copper wire to reach the DC source (equal amounts of white and black)
  • Sufficient length of 6-gauge copper green safety wire to reach the grounding lug(s)
  • 200 feet of 14-gauge wire (100 feet each red and black)
  • Wire stripper/cutter/crimper
  • Soldering iron and solder
  • 36 spade-type terminal connectors
  • Nylon cable ties
  • Grounding lugs
  • 14 AWG copper wire (black, red, green)

Mounting DC Fuse Panels in the AccessPath Rack

This section describes how to mount the DC fuse panels in the system cabinet. In the Cisco AccessPath-TS3 Model 530, these panels are factory-installed.

The location of the DC fuse panels is important for proper operation. If equipment is placed too close together, has inadequate ventilation, or is inaccessible, then malfunctions and shutdowns can result and maintenance will be difficult. Plan for access to both the front and rear panels.


Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install or replace this unit.

Read the installation instructions before you connect the system to its power source.

Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

This unit is intended for installation in restricted access areas. A restricted access area is where access can only be gained by service personnel through the use of a special tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

The following steps explain how to mount the DC fuse panels in the AccessPath rack:


Step 1   If necessary, attach the rack mounting brackets to the DC fuse panels using the 4 screws that come with the rack-mounting brackets (see Figure 1-2).


Note Your DC fuse panel might look slightly different, but its functionality is the same as the panel described and illustrated below. For example, grey DC fuse panels have input circuit breakers; black panels do not.



Figure 1-2   Installing the Rack-Mounting Brackets


Step 2   After you secure the rack-mounting brackets to the DC fuse panels, mount the panels at the top of the system rack above the system controller. Use the screws that you provide to attach the DC fuse panels to the side rails of the equipment rack as shown in Figure 1-3.


Note The DC fuse panels must be mounted so that the front panels face the rear of the system cabinet. The fuses and the main circuit breakers of the DC fuse panels should face the same direction as the operating controls of the access servers and the other equipment.
