The status LEDs on the DC PEM provide information about the current 
operational status of the power supply. 
summarizes the function of
these indicators.
Power Distribution
The backplane distributes power through the Cisco XR 12404 router and to all 
cards in the card cage. The PEM converts AC power source into –48 VDC. When 
directed by the route processor or by MBus software, the MBus module turns on 
the DC-DC converter; the –48 VDC is converted into +2.5 VDC, +3.3 VDC and 
+5 VDC for all internal voltages required by the cards.
Power for the fan tray assembly is supplied directly from the backplane. An 
internal fan tray assembly controller card converts –48 VDC into DC voltage that 
powers the fans.
Fan Tray Assembly
The Cisco XR 12404 router is equipped with a fan tray assembly located at the 
side of the chassis. The fan tray assembly maintains acceptable operating 
temperatures for the internal components by drawing cooling air across the card 
cage.
