Power Supplies for Use with Your Switch

Each switch runs with two replaceable 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. Supported power supply configurations include two 800 W AC power supply modules, two 800 W DC power supply modules, or one 800 W AC and one 800 W DC power supply module. Power supply modules have integrated cooling fans that operate independently of the switch fans, and are available with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow. The direction of the airflow in both power supply modules must be in the same direction, and must also be the in same direction of the airflow in the fan modules.

Power supplies are ordered separately for base model 7720-32C. Power supplies are included with other models.

Precautions Specific to Power Supply Modules

Warning

Warning

Make sure that the power source circuits are properly grounded, then use the power cord supplied with the device to connect it to the power source.
Warning

Warning

If the installation requires a different power cord than the one supplied with the device, make sure you use a power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. The mark is your assurance that the power cord can be used safely with the device.
Caution

Caution

Disassembling any part of the power supply and fan assembly voids the warranty and regulatory certifications. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the power supply and fan assembly.
Caution

Caution

Ensure that the airflow direction of the power supply unit matches that of the installed fan tray. The power supplies and fan trays are clearly labeled with either a green arrow with an "E", or an orange arrow with an "I."
Caution

Caution

If you do not install a module or a power supply in a slot, you must keep the slot filler panel in place. If you run the chassis with an uncovered slot, the system will overheat.

800 W AC Power Supply

Two 800 W AC power supply options, with front-to-back or back-to-front airflow, are supported on the switch.

Note

Note
