DC Power

The Acme Packet 3900 can be powered by central office –48 VDC operations with a DC-DC supply. The red handle on the front panel of the power supply is used to remove the power supply from the chassis. The black locking handle, when moved from left to right, unlocks the power supply from the chassis when removing the power supply. A removable terminal block on the DC power supply serves as the DC power interconnect. The terminal block must be removed before the black locking handle can be moved to free the power supply.Diagram showing DC power supply
