The 5520 Series switch is designed to operate with hot-swappable internal power supply modules that provide all of the power needed for the switch to operate. You can remove one power supply module without interrupting the switch's operation (hot-swap). Installed power supplies can be AC, DC, or a combination of AC and DC for the 5520-24T-ACDC, 5520-24X-ACDC, 5520-48T-ACDC, and 5520-48SE-ACDC switches.
Power supplies have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fans for power supply cooling and are not responsible for cooling the switch. All installed power supplies must blow air in the same direction and must match the airflow direction of the installed fan modules. Power supply slots are located on the rear panel of the switch.
