Arista DCS-7516N - Power Supply Specifications; Power Supply Configurations

Chapter 4: Cabling the Modular Switch Power Supply Specifications
Quick Start Guide: 7500N Series Modular Switches 33
4.6 Power Supply Specifications
Table 4-1 shows the power supply specifications for each of the PSUs supported.
4.7 Power Supply Configurations
Table 4-2 shows the power supply configurations for the modular switches.
4.7.1 Recommendations for power supply usage
• Use separate circuit with required protection for each power supply.
• Use the same PSU model when replacing a failed PSU. Check for a suitable alternative if the
model is no longer supported or available.
• Unless your switch allows for mixing power supplies, do not mix power supply types.
• You must populate each power domain with the minimum number of PSUs required. Domains
are separate banks of grouped supplies, Ten high and ten low for the 16 slot chassis (Domain
1: PS1 – PS10; domain 2: PS11 – PS20).
• Chassis with multiple power domains should have an equal number of supplies in each
domain.
• For supervisor cooling purposes, all systems require the minimum number of PSUs, as
specified in Table 4-2, in the top section behind the supervisors.
• For 8- & 12-slot chassis, (grouped power supplies top and bottom) Arista recommends equal
number of power supplies in the top and bottom groups.
• For the 16-slot chassis with 2 power domains, the power domain with the lowest number of
power supplies prescribes the total power available, therefore, Arista recommends equal
number of PSUs in each domain.
• Valid redundancy configurations for each domain are described in Power Supply Redundancy
section.
