Power Connection Guidelines for DC-Powered Routers
When the Cisco XR 12404 Router operates with a DC PDU, observe these 
guidelines:
•
A Cisco XR 12404 Router configured with a DC PDU and DC-input PEMs has 
a maximum power rating of 35A per power module and requires a dedicated DC 
power source to support this maximum current. The facility DC source circuit 
breaker protection needs to comply with safety local codes and regulations. 
This circuit breaker protects against short-circuit and overcurrent faults in 
accordance with United States National Electrical Code NFPA 70 (United 
States), Canadian Electrical Code, part I, CSA C22.1 (Canada), and IEC 364 
(other countries).
•
DC power cable leads should be #6 American Wiring Gauge (AWG) 
high-strand-count wire.
•
Provide a dedicated power source for each power entry module installed in 
the router.
