Redundant Power Supplies Overview
Inspect redundant power supplies to ensure that they distribute power to the other router
components according to their voltage requirements.
With redundant power supplies, two power supplies are installed in a router and perform
load sharing during normal operation. When one power supply fails or is switched off,
the other power supply immediately and automatically assumes the entire electrical
load. Table 141 on page 608 lists some router characteristics for each M Series router
platform type.
The power supplies are internally connected to the midplane, which delivers the power
input from the circuit breaker box and distributes the different output voltages produced
by the power supplies to the router’s components, depending on their voltage
requirements.
