power supply option is available.) In
AC-input power supply. (A power supply filler plate is installed over the second power supply bay.) A
fully configured Cisco 7204VXR router operates with only one installed power supply; however, a
second, optional power supply of the same type provides hot-swappable, load-sharing, redundant power.
The Cisco 7204VXR does not support a mixture of AC- and DC-input power.
Note
The power supply has the router's main power switch and either an AC-input power receptacle or a
hardwired DC-input power cable (depending on the type of installed power supply).

power supplies must be of the same type (two AC-input power supplies or two DC-input power supplies).
Adjacent to the power supply bays are two chassis grounding receptacles that provide a chassis ground
connection for ESD equipment or a two-hole grounding lug. (See
