Cisco 10008 Router Hardware Installation Guide
OL-0659-13
Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Site Planning
Note The Cisco 10008 router installation must comply with all applicable codes and is approved for use with
copper conductors only. The ground bond fastening hardware should be of compatible material and
preclude loosening, deterioration, and electrochemical corrosion of hardware and joined material.
Attachment of the chassis ground to a central office or other interior ground system should be made with
a 6-AWG, copper ground conductor at a minimum.
Electrical Service Requirements
The building’s electrical wiring supplying power to the Cisco 10008 series router must comply with all
applicable building electrical codes. Also, the installation must comply with the following requirements:
• Wiring must have copper conductors. Copper conductor is the only electrical wire conductor
approved for use with the Cisco 10008 series router.
• Ground bond fastening hardware must be of compatible material and resist loosening or
deteriorating. Also, the joined hardware materials must resist electrochemical corrosion.
• Chassis grounding must be provided to avoid damage to the equipment due to lightning striking
power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other
interior ground system with a copper ground conductor of 6 AWG (minimum).
• Short-circuit (overcurrent) protection must be provided as part of the building installation. Install
only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations.
• Power conditioning must be installed if the power surges or has spikes.
• 2-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed circuit wiring for emergency power
shutdown.
Electrical Circuit Requirements
Each Cisco 10008 router requires a dedicated electrical circuit. If you equip it with dual power feeds,
provide a separate circuit for each PEM to avoid compromising the power redundancy feature.
The Cisco 10008 router can be powered by a DC or AC source. Ensure the equipment grounding is in
compliance with local and national electrical codes.
The following sections contain specific recommendations for AC and DC powered systems.
AC Powered Systems
The Cisco 10008 router chassis’ AC PEM uses a short power cord with a male IEC 320 C20 AC inlet
power connector and a strain relief device (canoe). This cord mates to an AC power cord consisting of
a female IEC 320 C19 connector on one end, and a connector compatible with the building’s AC
receptacle on the other end. When you order the chassis, you must specify the type of connector you
need to ensure compatibility with the building’s AC receptacle.
The electrical ratings of the Cisco 10008 router chassis AC PEM are:
• AC input voltage: 100 to 240 VAC
• AC input frequency: 50/60 Hz, single phase
• AC input current: 15 to 7A
• Input power consumption: 1400W maximum
