3 Install the Cisco AC/DC Power System

Install Ear Mounts

Ear mounts come mounted on the shelf and support 19in. and 23in. IEC and ANSI standards. For 23in. shelves, ears should be removed, reversed and reinstalled. Two additional plates are also included to accommodate ETSI racks ( Figure 1). To install ETSI mounting ears, remove existing ears and attach ETSI mounting ears using included hardware.

Install Shelves in a Rack/Cabinet

The system shelf should be installed first, followed by the 1 RU Distribution Shelf (if this option is included as part of the installation). If the install is going into a front access only environment, with no rear access after shelf installation, the AC cable installation and any rear wiring (communications cabling, ground cabling, alarm connections, and load connections) must be completed before the shelf is installed.

Install the System Shelf

Step 1

Determine if the correct ear mounts are installed on the system shelf. If ETSI ear mounts are required, see the "Install Ear Mounts" section.

Step 2

Move the system shelf to the desired rack/cabinet slot; allow 1 RU above the shelf if a 1 RU Distribution Shelf may be installed in the future ( Figure 2).

Step 3

Secure the system shelf to the rack/cabinet using the six included mounting screws.

Install the 1 RU Distribution Shelf

Note The 1 RU Distribution Shelf is optional. If the system has no external distribution, skip this procedure and complete the "Install Ground Cabling" procedure.

Step 1

Move the 1 RU Distribution Shelf to the desired rack/cabinet slot (directly above the system shelf).

Step 2

Secure the 1 RU Distribution Shelf to the rack/cabinet using the four included mounting screws (Figure 3).

Install Communications Cabling

Intra-system shelf communications cabling is installed at the factory and requires no installation; however, the cabling must be installed in systems with the optional 1 RU Distribution Shelf.

Step 1

Locate the distribution alarm connection at the rear of the system shelf.

Step 2

This connection is a prewired 10 pin Molex connector and is connected to the 1 RU at the indicated connection point ( Figure 4).

Note

The Molex™ alarm connector is keyed and can only be inserted one way. If the connector does not insert easily into the mount, make certain that the connector is being inserted with the key side up.

Install DC Power Cabling

In systems equipped with the 1 RU Distribution Shelf, follow the instructions below. For systems without the 1 RU Distribution Shelf, skip this procedure and go to the "Install Ground Cabling" procedure.

Step 1

Locate the four 6 AWG (16mm�) power cables provided at the rear of the system shelf. These are terminated with Anderson Powerpole™ Connectors. To install the connectors, remove the heat shrink from the ends of the connector.

Note

Anderson Powerpole™ Connectors are keyed and can only be inserted one way. If the connector does not insert easily into the mount, make sure that the connector is being inserted with the key side up.

Step 2

Connect the power cables to the appropriate connection points on the 1 RU Distribution Shelf labeled load (-48V) and return (Return) ( Figure 5).

Install Ground Cabling

Warning This equipment must be grounded. 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. Statement 1024

The Equipment Rack/Cabinet, system shelf, and optional 1 RU Distribution Shelf need to be properly grounded to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the DC Power System.

To ground the equipment rack/cabinet, it should be bonded to the building principal ground busbar. Refer to the NEC, CEC, ANSI T1-333, ETSI 300-386-TC, and local codes for guidelines on bonding telecom DC power equipment to the building ground.

Ground the System Shelf

Step 1

Loosen the cover from the rear of the system shelf by loosening the four screws ( Figure 6).

Step 4

Using a UL-listed 6 AWG (16mm�) wire with an insulation rated to at least 75�C, connect the shelf to the appropriate cabinet connection point ( Figure 7). The connection at the shelf end is made using a UL-listed double-hole lug 1/4in and 5/8in. center-to-center (Panduit part # LCD6-14A or equivalent).

Ground the 1 RU Distribution Shelf

Step 2

Using a UL-listed 6 AWG (16mm�) wire with an insulation rated to at least 75�C, connect the 1 RU DC Distribution shelf to the appropriate rack/cabinet connection point ( Figure 8).

Step 3

The connection at the shelf end is made using a UL-listed double-hole lug 1/4in and 5/8in. center-to-center (lug part # Panduit LCD6 -14A-L or equivalent).

Step 4

To accommodate future upgrades, leave a service loop (1.5ft [(60cm]) at the side of the shelf.

Install AC Power Cabling

Step 1

Ensure that input circuit breakers or fuses are OFF or removed and the cable is not connected to the outlet.

Step 2

To aid in future expansion, all AC cable positions should be connected to the rear of the shelf during installation.

Step 3

The system shelf is supplied with four AC cables. Each AC cable provides power to individual rectifier positions. The cable is terminated for local plug requirements.

Note

A 15A circuit (for both 110/208VAC) should be used based on maximum AC input per rectifier of 9.1A

Step 4

The rear cover of the system shelf should already be removed; if it is not, remove it using the first two steps of the "Ground the System Shelf" procedure.

Step 6

Attach the ferrule end of the cables (Ground (G), L1, and L2 (neutral) to the system shelf AC receptacle by inserting the ferrule (it will only fit in one direction) and tightening it with a flat screwdriver ( Figure 9).

Step 7

After attaching the AC cables, route the cables to the rear of the shelf using the supplied tie-offs to secure the cables and exit the cables at the sides of the shelf ( Figure 10).

Step 8

AC cabling is routed through either side of the system shelf and secured using tie off points.

Step 11

If AC power is switched off at the AC feed location, connect the terminated AC plugs to the AC feed location. If not, do not connect the AC cables to the feed location until you perform the "Commission the System" procedure.

Install Rectifiers

Step 1

Locate the first rectifier installation location. This is the left-most rectifier when viewed from the front of the system.

Step 2

Make sure that the rectifier handle is in the OPEN position, that is, the handle is pulled away from the rectifier body.

Step 3

Place the module in front of the correct mounting slot on the shelf with the handle facing out ( Figure 11 #1).

Step 4

Slide the module in until it contacts the interface connection at the rear of the shelf.

Step 5

Fully insert the rectifier by pushing the module handle towards the shelf; the handle will rise up and lock the module into place ( Figure 11 #2).

Step 6

Repeat this procedure for any additional rectifiers (two total for small systems, three for medium systems, and four for large systems).

Step 7

Some systems may require the removal of installed blank rectifier faceplates. To do this, remove the two Phillips screws from the blank rectifier faceplate and remove the faceplate ( Figure 12 #1). Remove the blank rectifier faceplate mounting bracket by removing the two Phillips screws ( Figure 12#2).

Step 8

Tighten the handle-mounted common screws into the rectifier to ensure a firm connection ( Figure 11 #2).

Install Circuit Breakers on Large Systems

Large systems equipped with the 1 RU DC Distribution Shelf require the installation of circuit breakers to ensure proper system protection. The 1 RU Distribution Shelf is shipped with two circuit breakers installed for use in medium systems.

Step 2

Remove the 1 RU Distribution faceplate by loosening the two thumbscrews on the shelf faceplate ( Figure 14).

Step 3

Locate the circuit breaker installation locations inside the 1 RU Distribution Shelf (see Table 1). Circuit breakers should be installed with the protective hood (covering the "ON" position) on the left side of the shelf ( Figure 13) to allow the 1 RU Distribution faceplate to be correctly installed.

Step 4

Attach the circuit breaker alarm cables to the rear of the circuit breaker; the alarm cables are labeled common (C) and NC (Normally Closed) and are attached to the positions shown in Figure 13.

Step 5

Gently glide the breaker in so that the quick-disconnect plugs are aligned with the mounting holes (refer to Figure 15 for proper orientation).

Table 1 Circuit Breaker Positions
System Size	A1	A2	B1	B2
Small	n/a	n/a	n/a	n/a

Step 6

Push the breaker in until the quick disconnect plugs are firmly seated in the mounting holes ( Figure 15).

Step 8

Replace the 1 RU Distribution Shelf faceplate and tighten the thumbscrews.

Install Alarm Cables

Step 1

Remove the system shelf faceplate by loosening the two thumbscrews on the shelf faceplate in order to access the sliding controller drawer ( Figure 16).

Step 2

Slide the drawer out and away from the system shelf to access the alarm interface board.

Step 3

Terminal blocks can be removed to make alarm cable connections ( Figure 17 #1).

Note Alarm contacts labeled 1 through 4, NO, C, and NC refer to the off state of the power system and alarmed condition ( Figure 18).

Note

All alarm connections are for the unpowered state. When the power is off the NC is normally closed and when the power is on, the NC is open.

Step 4

The terminal blocks (green) will accept 26 to 22AWG (0.14 to 0.34mm�) cables. Remove the terminal block ( Figure 17 #1). Refer to Table 1 for information on alarms.

Table 2 Alarm Designations
Jumper	Alarm Designation	1	2	3	4
J16 (1-3)	Low Voltage	X
J15 (1-3)	Mains Error		X
J14 (1-3)	Module Failure			X
J13 (1-3)	Fuse/Circuit Breaker Fail				X

Step 5

Insert the cable into the green connector and tighten the screw using a flat screwdriver ( Figure 17 #2).

Step 7

Alarm cables are run from the rear of the system shelf (leaving enough of a service loop to allow the drawer to slide out) through the access window between the controller drawer and the GMT drawer area ( Figure 17).

Step 8

Secure the alarm cables using the provided strain relief tie-offs to aid in cable management.

Install Load-and-Return Connections

This section explains how to install 1 RU Distribution Shelf and GMT load-and-return connections.

Install the 1 RU Distribution Shelf Load-and-Return Connections

The following section is for systems that use the 1 RU Distribution Shelf. For systems without the distribution shelf, skip this procedure and go to the "Install GMT Load-and-Return Connections" procedure.

Table 3 Load Connection Wire Gauge
Wire Gauge (Stranded)	Application
10 to 8 AWG (6 - 10mm�)	Breaker Load (up to 30A)

Step 2

Locate the load-and-return connections at the rear of the 1 RU Distribution Shelf.

Step 3

Remove the Phoenix Contact PC6™ connectors from 1 RU Distribution Shelf by loosening the flat screws and pulling the connectors away from the 1 RU Distribution Shelf ( Figure 19 #1).

Step 4

Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal for the load-and-return connections by inserting and then tightening the connector (Phoenix Contact PC6™ connectors) ( Figure 19 #2, #3). Leave enough of a service loop to allow for the removal of the 1 RU Distribution Shelf.

Step 6

Connect the load-and-return cables to the equipment that requires the supplied DC Power.

Install GMT Load-and-Return Connections

Step 1

Locate the GMT fuse connections by removing the controller faceplate and sliding the GMT drawer out ( Figure 20).

Step 2

Route the GMT load-and-return cabling from the rear of the system shelf ( Table 4). Leave enough of a service loop to allow the drawer to slide out through the fuse panel channel, and secure the cabling using the supplied tie-downs ( Figure 21).

Table 4 GMT Load Connection Wire Gauge
Fuse Size	Wire Gauge
2A GMT Fuse	22 AWG (0.34mm�)
5A GMT Fuse	18 AWG (0.75mm�)
10A GMT Fuse	14 AWG (2.5mm�)
15A GMT Fuse	14 AWG (2.5mm�)

Step 3

Connect the wires to the appropriate terminal by using a flat screwdriver to open the terminal ( Figure 21) and inserting the appropriate cable into the spring loaded terminals. Terminals correspond to fuses (side A (1-5) and side B (1-5) from left to right [as viewed from the front of the system]).

Step 4

Connect the cables to the equipment that requires the supplied DC power.

Note

An empty space should be left on each side of any 15A GMT fuse used for thermal considerations ( Figure 22).

4 Commission the System

Step 1

Turn on AC breakers at the AC distribution panel to power up the shelf through the rectifiers.

Step 2

The controller and rectifier LEDs will start to blink. It may take a few minutes for the controller to communicate with all rectifiers.

Step 3

The system is now commissioned. If the RED LED on the controller is on, refer to the "Alarm Warnings" chapter in the Cisco AC/DC Power System User Guide, Release 1.0.
