1 Introduction
Welcome to the Dual Feed DC Telecom Power Supply User’s Guide. This guide contains information
about the installation and use of Continuous Computing Corporation’s 100W, 150W, and 350W Dual
Feed DC Telecom Power Supplies.
This guide includes the following information related to the 100W, 150W, and 350W Dual Feed DC
Telecom Power Supplies:
• Unpacking, installing, and starting up
• Grounding your system
• Troubleshooting
• Connector usage and specifications
Description
The Continuous Computing Telecom Power Supply offers 100, 150, or 350 watts of Hot Swappable,
load-sharing power for a CompactPCI system. The Power Supply is designed for the Central Office,
with dual input feeds and –48V DC input. Typical systems combine two Supplies to provide redundant
power. Each Power Supply also provides a standby power output for use by a Continuous Control Node
(CCN).
Features of the Dual Feed DC Telecom Power Supply include:
• Hot Swap and Load Sharing
The Power Supply is designed for redundant operation. A failed Power Supply can be
replaced without application downtime. Load sharing ensures that supplies run cooler,
leading to increased system reliability.
• Standby Power
Standby power provides an output that is always on to power a Continuous Control Node.
This enables remote power cycling and system diagnostics even when the Power Supply is
off.
• Over Temperature and Short Circuit Protection
Protection features reduce the possibility of hardware damage during extreme temperatures
or fault conditions.
• Remote Sense on +5 and +3.3V
Remote sense provides high-quality power to critical system components.
• Dual Input Feeds
Dual power feeds allow the system to continue running even if one feed drops out.
• 6U CompactPCI Form-Factor
Standard 6U form-factor allows for easy integration into CompactPCI system without
awkward divider rails.
The Telecom Power Supply is a Basic Hot Swap device. PICMG 2.1 R1.0 describes Basic Hot Swap as
a board powered and enabled for access by the PCI bus in configuration space only upon insertion. The
board’s configuration space is not yet initialized. You must initiate software connection at the system
console. The power circuitry is controlled so that inserting in or extracting from a live redundant system
will not cause any electrical damage. If the system is not redundant, it must be halted before servicing.

2 Unpacking, Installing, and Starting Up
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
!
Caution – The Power Supply contains electronic components that
are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of
static from clothing and the surrounding environment may destroy
components.
What to do
• Use an antistatic mat.
• Use an antistatic wrist or foot strap.
Storage
• If the Power Supply is to be stored before unpacking, see Table 8 for environmental storage
specifications.
Unpacking
!
Caution – Always maintain an ESD-safe environment when handling
the Power Supply. It contains many components that can be
destroyed by ESD.
• Inspect the shipping container for any in-transit damage and report it to shipping agent if
necessary.
• Carefully unpack the Power Supply from its shipping container.
Installing the Power Supply
!
Caution – You may only install the Power Supply in a slot
specifically provided for it by Continuous Computing. The Power
Supply is not interchangeable with supplies from other
manufacturers, even if they use the same connector.
