4.6.1 Recommendations for Power Supply Usage
• Use separate circuits (A & B) with required protection for each power supply.
• Use the same PSU model when replacing a failed PSU. Any suitable alternative must be approved
before using if the original model is no longer supported or available.
• Unless your switch allows for mixing power supplies, do not mix power supply types.
• To minimize distribution power loss, use an equal number of supplies in each row: (e.g 4 PSUs in
slots 1-4 and 4 PSUs in slots 7-10 for a configuration with 8 PSUs for the DCS-7808 switch). Table
7: Recommended PSU Bay Population Order provides more details.
Note: PSUs can be housed in either of two rows for the DCS-7808 switch. The LEDs for
PSUs in each row indicate correct status only after at least one of the PSUs in that row
(PSU1 to PSU6 or PSU7 to PSU12) is energized from a power source. For the DCS-7812 and
DCS-7816 switches, as long as one PSU is powered, all PSU LEDs will report status correctly.
