Power Guidelines

When preparing to install your Acme Packet 6300/6350:

• Ensure that the installation location has access to adequate power and grounding. Separate circuits should be available for each of the two Acme Packet 6300/6350 power supplies.
• The Acme Packet 6300/6350 may only be powered by AC or DC circuits at one time; mixed power supply configurations are unsupported.
• Never use extension cords when powering an Acme Packet 6300/6350.
• Use grounded, 3-conductor circuits.
• A local earth ground must be available.
• For DC, the installation must provide over current rated at 35A.
• A service disconnect must be provided for each power supply that is clearly marked and is nearby the equipment.

  Note:

  Connect each of the Acme Packet 6300/6350 power supplies to a separate circuit. If both supplies are connected to outlets on the same circuit, the Acme Packet 6300/6350 will lose power to both supplies if that circuit loses power. In that case, the whole Acme Packet 6300/6350 would lose power.
