Description
Power Monitoring and Budgeting Features
The CRS-PM-DC Cisco CRS Modular DC Power Module provides power monitoring and budgeting features for the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS). These features include:
- DC Power Input: The CRS-PM-DC supports DC power input with a voltage range of -40 to -72 VDC and with a maximum power output of up to 1320 watts.
- Power Monitoring: The module allows for the monitoring of power usage and status through the use of SNMP and syslog messages, providing real-time information on power supply conditions.
- Power Budgeting: The module allows for the allocation of power to different components of the CRS, ensuring that power usage is optimized and that critical components receive the necessary power to operate.
- Power Redundancy: The module supports hot-plugging and redundancy, allowing for the replacement of a failed power supply without disrupting the operation of the CRS.
- Temperature Monitoring: The module allows for the monitoring of internal temperatures, providing early warning of potential thermal issues.
- Over-Current Protection: The module includes over-current protection, which helps prevent damage to the power supply and connected devices in case of an over-current event.
- Over-Voltage Protection: The module includes over-voltage protection, which helps prevent damage to the power supply and connected devices in case of an over-voltage event.
- Remote Management: The module allows for remote management of the power supply through the use of Cisco IOS commands and SNMP.
- Power Efficiency: The module is designed to be energy-efficient, helping to reduce power consumption and costs for the CRS.
- LED Indicator: The module has LED indicators that show the status of the power supply, whether it’s normal or failed, providing a quick and easy way to identify any power issues.
- Power Capability: The module has the capability to supply power to multiple CRS units and to provide power to other devices as well as the CRS.
Temperature and Overload Protection
The CRS-PM-DC Cisco CRS Modular DC Power Module provides temperature and overload protection features for the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS). These features include:
- Temperature Monitoring: The CRS-PM-DC module includes a temperature sensor that monitors the internal temperature of the module and sends alerts if the temperature exceeds a certain threshold. This helps prevent overheating and potential damage to the module.
- Overload Protection: The module includes overload protection, which helps prevent damage to the power supply and connected devices in case of an overload event. The power supply automatically reduces its output in case of an overload, protecting the connected devices from damage.
- Over-Current Protection: The module includes over-current protection, which helps prevent damage to the power supply and connected devices in case of an over-current event.
- Over-Voltage Protection: The module includes over-voltage protection, which helps prevent damage to the power supply and connected devices in case of an over-voltage event.
- Thermal Management: The module has thermal management features that help dissipate heat and keep the module running at optimal temperatures, ensuring that the module is always operating within safe temperature ranges.
- Power Efficiency: The module is designed to be energy-efficient, helping to reduce power consumption and costs for the CRS system.
- LED Indicator: The module has LED indicators that show the status of the power supply, whether it’s normal or failed, providing a quick and easy way to identify any power issues.
It’s important to note that the CRS-PM-DC is designed to work with specific Cisco CRS devices and is not compatible with all Cisco devices. It’s recommended to check the compatibility of the device you want to use it with before purchasing the power supply.
Compatibility with Cisco CRS Routers
The CRS-PM-DC Cisco CRS Modular DC Power Module is specifically designed for use with the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS) and is compatible with the following Cisco CRS series routers:
- CRS-1 4-slot
- CRS-1 8-slot
- CRS-1 16-slot
- CRS-3 4-slot
- CRS-3 8-slot
It is important to note that the CRS-PM-DC is designed to be used with specific Cisco CRS routers and is not compatible with all Cisco routers. It is recommended to check the compatibility of the device you want to use it with before purchasing the power module.
Additionally, the CRS-PM-DC is designed to operate with a DC voltage range of -40 to -72 VDC, which is the standard voltage range used in most of the DC power systems. It is always recommended to check the voltage range of the DC power system that you want to use it with before making the purchase.
