Description
Power Management and Control Features
The PEM-20A-AC Cisco 1400 Watt AC Power Module has several power management and control features, including:
- Power monitoring: The module allows for monitoring of the input voltage, input current, output voltage, output current, and power consumption.
- Power redundancy: The module supports power redundancy through the use of multiple power supplies in a single system, ensuring that the system remains powered on in the event of a power supply failure.
- Power allocation: The module allows for the allocation of power to individual system components, allowing for the efficient use of power resources.
- Power capping: The module supports power capping, which allows for the limiting of the maximum power consumed by the system.
- Remote management: The module supports remote management through the use of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and Cisco Integrated Management Controller (IMC) Supervisor.
- Power cycling and graceful shutdown: The module supports power cycling and graceful shutdown of system components to prevent data loss or corruption during power outages.
- Hot-swappable: The module is hot-swappable, which means that it can be replaced without shutting down the system.
Redundant Power Configuration Options
- Dual Power Supply Redundancy: This configuration option allows for the use of two PEM-20A-AC power modules in a redundant configuration, providing a backup power supply in case of failure of the primary power module.
- Power Supply Load Sharing: This configuration option allows for the use of multiple PEM-20A-AC power modules in a load-sharing configuration, distributing the load evenly across all power modules to prevent any single power module from being overworked.
- External Power System Redundancy: This configuration option allows for the use of an external power system, such as a UPS, to provide backup power in case of failure of the primary power source.
- Power Grid Redundancy: This configuration option allows for the use of multiple power grids, such as utility power and generator power, to provide backup power in case of failure of the primary power source.
- Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Redundancy: This configuration option allows for the use of multiple PDUs, connected to different power sources, to provide backup power in case of failure of the primary power source.
Installation and Setup
- Start by unboxing the PEM-20A-AC Cisco 1400 Watt AC Power Module and checking that all components are present and in good condition.
- Verify that the power source and circuit breaker are adequate for the module. The PEM-20A-AC requires a 208-240V AC, 50/60Hz power source with a minimum current rating of 20A.
- Locate an available AC power slot on the Cisco switch or router that the module will be installed in. The PEM-20A-AC is compatible with Cisco Nexus 9372PX, 9372TX, and 93108TC-EX switches, as well as the Cisco ASR 9000 Series routers.
- Align the module with the power slot, making sure that the connector is properly aligned. Carefully push the module into the slot until it is securely seated.
- Connect the power cord to the module and plug it into the power source.
- Power on the Cisco switch or router and verify that the module is detected and operational by checking the system status and power supply status in the device’s management interface.
- Configure the module’s settings and power supply redundancy as needed.
- Test the module by running the device’s load and power usage tests to ensure that it is providing the necessary power and that there are no issues.
- Finally, record the installation and setup in the device’s documentation for future reference.
