---

Wiring the Alarm Connectors

The VPN 5008 concentrator -48 VDC power supplies include three receptacles for alarm connectors: one each for critical, major, and minor alarms. In the event of a power interruption or system failure, the appropriate alarm activates.

The minor alarm activates if any power supply malfunctions. The major alarm activates if both power supplies malfunction. The critical alarm is currently unused.

The alarm relay switches support the following positions:

•Normally open alarm—A device that has an open contact when there is no alarm.

•Normally closed alarm—A device that has a closed contact when there is no alarm.

Figure 11 shows the wire locations for the alarm connectors on the right power supply. Figure 12 shows the wire locations for the alarm connectors on the left power supply.

Figure 11 Alarm Connector Wiring for the Right Power Supply

Figure 12 Alarm Connector Wiring for the Left Power Supply

To wire the alarm connectors

---

Step 1 Strip 0.125 inches (.3175 cm) of the insulation from the end of two 14 AWG wires. Do not strip more than 0.125 inches.

Step 2 Insert a medium flat-blade screwdriver into the connector middle hole and loosen the screw (Figure 13).

---

Figure 15 Plugging the Alarm Connectors into the Chassis

---

Resetting the Power Alarm

The power supply alarm activates in the event of a power interruption or malfunction. Use the alarm cut-off button on the left power supply (Figure 16) to deactivate the alarm and enable it again.

Figure 16 Alarm Cut-Off Button

If the system is still running despite alarm activation, it was probably disrupted by a temporary power failure. Press the alarm cut-off button to reactivate the alarm after an event.

If the system is not running, the cause of the alarm is either a continuing power failure or a catastrophic system failure. To determine the cause of the alarm, check the LEDs on the power supplies:

•If the DC Power LED is off, the DC power source is not functioning. Check the power source. If the power is disrupted, restore it to reboot the system.

•If the Power LED is off on both supplies while the DC power LED is on, the cause of the alarm is probably a catastrophic system failure. Contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center.

Attaching the Connector Restraints

After the alarm connectors and power supply connectors are plugged in to the chassis, attach the connector restraints. The connector restraints prevent the alarm connectors and power supply connectors from being pulled out (Figure 17).

Have the following provided parts available:

•One left-side connector restraint and thumbscrew

•One right-side connector restraint and thumbscrew

To attach the connector restraints

---

Step 1 Insert the tabbed bottom portion of the connector restraints into the slots located directly below the power connectors on the VPN 5008 chassis.

Step 2 Cover the alarm and power connectors with a restraint.

Figure 20 Moving the Chassis onto a Table or Platform

Rack-Mounting the Chassis

You can mount the VPN 5008 chassis in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or in a telco rack. You must provide:

•At least 18 screws or clips for mounting the brackets to the rack

•Phillips screwdriver

•At least two people to lift the chassis into place

Rack Placement Considerations

Before you mount the chassis, consider the following rack guidelines:

•Use an open equipment rack (one without side enclosures or doors) for adequate ventilation.

•The chassis requires 14 rack units (23.5 vertical inches, 59.69 cm) of rack space.

•Load the equipment rack from the bottom. For stability, place the VPN 5008 chassis in the lower half of the equipment rack.

Attaching the Rack-Mount Brackets and Shelf to the Rack

This section describes how to attach the provided rack-mount brackets and shelf to the rack. The brackets and shelf maintain the proper alignment, but do not bear the weight of the chassis. The ledges at the bottom of the brackets bear the weight of the chassis until it is securely attached to the equipment rack.

To attach the brackets and shelf

---

Step 1 Hand-tighten the brackets to the rack using your own screws or clips (Figure 21). Be sure that the brackets are placed evenly on the rack.

•Use at least two screws to fasten the top of each bracket to the rack. You can use any two holes on the rack tab.

•Use at least three screws to fasten the bottom of each bracket to the rack. Use one of the screws to fasten the bottom hole in the rack tab.

Figure 21 Fastening the Brackets to the Rack

Step 2 Lower the shelf onto the tabs protruding from the right bracket.

Step 3 Adjust the bottom of the brackets as shown in Figure 22 so that the four thumbscrews on the shelf line up with the tabs on the brackets.

Figure 22 Securing the Shelf

Step 4 Tighten the four thumbscrews to secure the shelf to the brackets.

Step 5 Adjust the top of the brackets so that the brackets are straight up and down, and then use a screwdriver to tighten all mounting screws.
