M160 Router Power Supplies
The M160 router uses DC power. Two load-sharing, pass-through power supplies are
located at the bottom rear of the chassis. Figure 91 shows the M160 router power
supplies and where they are installed in the chassis.
When the power supplies are installed and operational, they automatically share the
electrical load. If a power supply stops functioning for any reason, the remaining
power supplies instantly begin providing all the power the router needs for normal
functioning, and can provide full power indefinitely.
