Description
DC Power Input and Output Specifications
The CRS-PM-DC Cisco CRS Modular DC Power Module is designed to provide DC power input and output for the Cisco Carrier Routing System (CRS). The following are the DC power input and output specifications for this module:
- DC Power Input: The CRS-PM-DC supports DC power input with a voltage range of -40 to -72 VDC and with a maximum current of 12 amps.
- Power Output: The module provides a total of 10 power outputs, with each output capable of delivering a maximum of 200 watts. The power outputs are connected through 10 IEC-320-C14 connectors.
- 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 Redundancy: The module supports hot-plugging and redundancy, allowing for the replacement of a failed power supply without disrupting the operation of the CRS.
- 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.
- 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.
Power Redundancy and Hot-Plugging Capabilities
The CRS-PM-DC Cisco CRS Modular DC Power Module supports power redundancy and hot-plugging capabilities for the Cisco CRS Router.
- Power Redundancy: The CRS-PM-DC module supports power redundancy, allowing for the use of multiple power supplies for a single router, providing a level of protection against power failures.
- Hot-Plugging: The module supports hot-plugging, allowing for the replacement of a failed power supply without disrupting the operation of the router. This provides increased availability and eliminates the need for scheduled downtime.
- Load Sharing: The module supports load sharing, allowing for the distribution of power across multiple power supplies, reducing the load on any one power supply and increasing overall system reliability.
- 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.
- Remote Management: The module allows for remote management of the power supply through the use of Cisco IOS commands and SNMP, providing increased flexibility and ease of use.
Remote Management and Control
The CRS-PM-DC Cisco CRS Modular DC Power Module supports remote management and control through the use of various tools and protocols. These include:
- Cisco IOS Commands: The module can be managed and controlled through the use of Cisco IOS commands, allowing for the configuration and monitoring of the power supply from a remote location.
- SNMP: The module supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), allowing for the remote monitoring of power supply status and conditions, including power usage, voltage, and current.
- CLI: The module can be managed and controlled through the use of a Command-Line Interface (CLI), providing a convenient and flexible way to manage the power supply from a remote location.
- syslog: The module can generate syslog messages, providing information on power supply conditions and events, including power usage, voltage, and current.
- Remote Power Management: The module supports remote power management, allowing for the control of power usage and the allocation of power to different components of the router.
- Power Redundancy: The module supports hot-plugging and redundancy, allowing for the replacement of a failed power supply without disrupting the operation of the router.
- 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.
- 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.
