J6300 Power System

The J6300 Services Router uses either AC or DC power. You can install one or two autosensing, load-sharing power supplies at the bottom rear of the chassis, as shown in Figure 10 or Figure 11. The power supplies distribute the different output voltages to the router components, depending on their voltage requirements. When the power supplies are installed and operational, they automatically share the electrical load.

For full redundancy, two power supplies are required. If a power supply stops functioning for any reason, the second power supply instantly begins providing all the power the router needs for normal functioning. It can provide full power indefinitely.

Each power supply has an LED located on the power supply faceplate. Table 19 describes the J6300 power supply LED.

For information about site power preparations, see Power Guidelines, Requirements, and Specifications. For information about connecting the router to power and ground, see Connecting Power to the Services Router.

Power supplies are hot-removable and hot-insertable. You can remove and replace a redundant power supply without powering down the router or disrupting the routing functions. To avoid electrical injury, carefully follow the instructions in Replacing Power System Components in a J6300 Router.

DC-powered J4300 and J6300 Services Routers are intended for installation only in a restricted access location.
