Power Supply LEDs
Table 1-7 describes the power supply LEDs.
Power Supply Fan
Each power supply has a built-in fan. Air enters the front of the power supply (power-input end) and exits
through the back. An air dam keeps the airflow separate from the rest of the chassis, which is cooled by
the system fan assembly.
Load-Sharing Feature
When you install and turn on a second power supply on a Catalyst 4500 E-series switch, it provides
approximately one-half of the required power to the system. If one power supply fails, the other power
supply immediately assumes full power to maintain uninterrupted system operation.
Note Load sharing works only when both power supplies in the chassis are the same type.
