Cisco VG224 Voice Gateway Hardware Installation Guide

Chapter 2 Planning Your Installation
Location and Mounting Requirements
Power Source
A Cisco VG224 voice gateway with AC power supply autoselects either 100–127 volt or 200–240 volt
operation. AC versions include a 6-foot (1.8-meter) electrical power cord. (A label near the power cord
indicates the correct voltage, frequency, current
draw, and power dissipation.)
Caution
The Cisco VG224 voice gateway chassis provides inputs for both AC and DC power. Design your
installation to use only one type of power. Do not use AC and DC power at the same time. If you do, the
unit stops operating, and you need to reboot it with only a single power source.
If you suspect that your AC power is not clean—if lights flicker often or there is machinery with large
motors nearby—have a qualified person test the power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
Warning
Do not work on the system or connect or disconnect cables during periods of lightning activity.

The +12V DC Input Power Supply
The +12V DC power connector to use with the Cisco VG224 voice gateway is the Molex Mini-Fit Jr.
5557 series, 8 circuit dual row (Molex P/N 39-01-2085). The VG224 +12V DC power input was
designed to be used with an external UPS system, and it has status signals that are reported to the VG224.
Table 2-1 shows the connector pin assignment for the +12V DC power connector pin assignment.
