Special Considerations for the 1400 W DC Power Supply
Caution Do not mix the 1400 W DC power supply with any other power supply, even for a hot swap or other
short-term emergency. Doing so can seriously damage your switch.
Keep in mind the following guidelines when using a 1400 W DC power supply with your Catalyst 4500
series switch:
• The 1400 W DC power supply works with a variety of DC sources. The DC input can vary from
300 W to 7500 W. Refer to the power supply documentation for additional information.
• The supervisor engine cannot detect the DC source plugged into the 1400 W DC power supply. If
you are using the 1400 W DC power supply, use the power dc input command to set the DC input
power. For more information on this command, see the “Configuring the DC Input for a Power
Supply” section on page 7-11.
