Chapter 1 Product Overviews
Cisco MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B Switch
Caution Although the PXM1E-4-155 does not need an APS connector to support APS line redundancy, it is
recommended that you install the PXM1E-4-155 in an APS connector to support a seamless upgrade to
the PXM1E-8-155 card.
For information on APS configuration, refer to the appropriate Cisco MGX release notes, or the Cisco
MGX software configuration guide for your software release.
DC Power Entry Module (PEM)
The DC Power Entry Module (PEM) connects the MGX 8830 or MGX 8830/B switch to a –48 VDC
(–42 to –56 VDC) power source. You can install one (primary) or two (secondary/redundant) DC PEMs.
Each DC PEM must be connected to a dedicated 30 A regulated source. Figure 1-38 shows a close-up of
the DC PEM faceplate.

Figure 1-39 illustrates the polarity of each connection on the pluggable terminal block. The connection
at the left (1) is for the –48 VDC wire. The connection in the middle (2) is the safety ground. The
connection at the right (3) is for the positive return wire (for the –48 VDC).
