Power Guidelines

When preparing to install your Acme Packet 1100:

• Ensure that the installation location has access to adequate power and grounding. Separate circuits should be available for each of the two Acme Packet 1100 power supplies.
• Never use extension cords when powering an Acme Packet 1100.
• Use grounded, 3-conductor circuits.
• A local earth ground must be available.
• A service disconnect must be provided for each power supply that is clearly marked and is nearby the equipment.

  Note:

  When two Acme Packet 1100s are configured for high availability, ensure that the power for each device is on a separate circuit. If both supplies are connected to outlets on the same circuit, the Acme Packet 1100 loss of power to that circuit results in a loss of all data and voice connections.
