supply. Typically, this switch and a power supply require about 200 W of power input from the power source,
but you must provision as much as 443 W power input from the power source to cover peak demand.
Some of the power supply modules have Underwriter Labs (UL) rating capabilities that exceed the switch
requirements. When calculating power requirements, use the switch requirements to determine the amount
of power required for the power supplies.
Note
To minimize the possibility of circuit failure, make sure that each power-source circuit used by the switch is
dedicated to the switch.
For AC input application, please refer to the statement below:
Note
Statement 1005—Circuit Breaker
This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the
protective devices are rated not greater than 20A (North America), 16A (Europe), and 13A (UK).
Warning
For DC input application, please refer to the statement below:
Note
Statement 1005—Circuit Breaker
This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection.
• Ensure that the protective devices are rated not greater than 40A when the switch is powered with regular
DC power supplies (rated 48-60VDC).
• Ensure that the protective devices are rated not greater than 10A when the switch is powered with HVDC
power supplies (rated 240-350VDC).
Warning
For the power cables to use with the power supplies, see Power Cable Specifications, on page 44.
Note
Airflow Requirements
The switch is designed to be positioned with its ports in either the front or the rear of the rack depending on
your cabling and maintenance requirements. Depending on which side of the switch faces the cold aisle, you
must have fan and power supply modules that move the coolant air from the cold aisle to the hot aisle in one
of the following ways:
