Yes I've done that many times.
I don't know what their acceptable range is, so I use a regulated DC-DC
converter to give it exactly 24V. I've used Meanwell and Traco coverters.
I drill a hole in the back of the CCR case and feed a heavy jacketed
16/2 through it and secure it with a zip tie on the inside of the case.
There are two tiny holes near the corner that are just right to feed a
little zip tie through....I'm not sure what their actual purpose is, but
they are perfect to secure the DC cable.
The polarity is not marked on the motherboard, so I always verify the
polarity of the existing power wire and mark a + on the white plug with
a sharpie. I leave the AC brick in their with the DC side cut off and
taped up. My thinking is that if I had to I could reconnect the AC brick.

Is anyone powering Mikrotik CCR routers from DC. It looks like if
you pull the included AC PSU it feeds the Tik with 24volt DC. So can
we just remove the supply and feed the tik from a 24v DC supply?
Anyone doing this? Anyone know what the make / model of plug on the PSU?
