3.2.4 Installing a Power Supply
You must install at least one power supply in the Matrix E7 chassis. One power supply provides
sufficient power for most module configurations, but a second power supply can be installed to
provide a redundant, load sharing power source.
CAUTION: Newer models of modules may require more power to operate. If the power
requirement of the module population in a Matrix E7 chassis exceeds the power output
of a single 6C207-1 (1200-Watt) power supply, it is not recommended to install a
6C207-1 (1200-Watt) and a 6C207-3 (1600-Watt) power supply in the same chassis. In
the event that the 6C207-3 fails, the 6C207-1 may not be able to handle the maximum
power requirements, eliminating power redundancy and causing the system to fail and
disrupt network traffic.
CAUTION: Make sure that the correct power supply is installed to handle the power
needed by the module population. Otherwise, an overload may result in damage to the
power supply.
