Caution: The C2G124-48P and C2H124-48P are PoE-compliant devices. Do not connect
a SecureStack C2 Redundant Power System (C2RPS-SYS) to the power connector.
Otherwise damage to the device may result.
Precaución: Los dispositivos C2G124-48P y C2H124-48P cumplen con el estándar PoE
(power over ethernet). No conecte una fuente de poder redundante SecureStack C2
(C2RPS-SYS) al cable de corriente. De lo contrario, el dispositivo puede dañarse.
