The front of the Cisco uBR7225VXR chassis provides access to two cable interface line cards. See
Figure
The rear of the Cisco uBR7225VXR provides access to the network processing engine and up to two
power supplies. See
A fully configured Cisco uBR7225VXR router can operate with only one installed power supply;
however, a second, optional power supply of the same type provides hot-swappable, load-sharing, and
redundant power. In a chassis using two power supplies, if one power supply fails or is removed, the
redundant power supply immediately takes over the router's power requirements and maintains normal
operation without interruption.
The power supply has the router's main power switch and an AC-input power receptacle. Mounting holes
for a ground lug are located on the far right side on the rear of the chassis, to provide a chassis ground
connection for ESD-preventive equipment. See

If you are using two power supplies, make sure that each one is plugged into a separate branch circuit.
Caution
