Power Supply Information
Before getting started, please note that OmniSwitch 6855 Series power supplies can be installed in a
number of different configurations. For example:
• Basic single system power, which provides minimum power requirements to the chassis, with no power
supply redundancy/failover.
• Redundant system power, which provides minimum power requirements to the chassis as well as
power supply redundancy/failover. Two system power supplies (PS1 and PS2) are required for this
configuration.
• Basic system power with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. This provides minimum power require-
ments to the chassis, as well as minimum power requirements to the PoE ports. Two power supplies—a
system power supply (PS1) and a PoE-specific power supply—(PoE1) are required for this configura-
tion.
• Redundant system power with Power over Ethernet (PoE) support. This provides system power supply
redundancy/failover in addition to PoE power redundancy. Four system power supplies—two system
power supplies (PS1 and PS2) and two PoE-specific power supplies—(PoE1 and PoE2) are required
for this configuration.
Refer to the table below for typical power supply and power supply tray requirements for different
configurations.
