2.2 Functions
On the Secure Router 8012, the two types of power modules (AC input and DC input) are
inserted into the backplane from the back.
In normal situations, two power modules work in 1+1 hot backup mode. The AC and DC
power modules are the PSR550-A and the PSR550-D respectively. The power line uses the
–48V feeder cable of D 3PIN.
The power module has the following functions:
z
When power input is interrupted or an error occurs with one power module, the other
module is not affected and can provide power to the entire system. If the system needs to
be powered off, you must power off all the configured power modules.
z
The power module provides protection functions, including input over-voltage protection,
input under-voltage protection, output over-flow protection, output over-voltage
protection, output short-circuit protection, and over-heat protection.
z
The power module supports the hot swap feature. Switching the power module does not
affect the running system.
If you want to install a Secure Router 8012 in the communication equipment room, make sure that the
power distribution cabinet can provide a lightning protection box or arrester against the current of 20 KA
and above.
