Overview
Each FastIron stackable switch comes with one alternating-current (AC) or direct-current (DC) power supply,
depending on how it was ordered from the factory. All models have two power supply slots, enabling you to install
a second power supply for redundancy. Direct-current (DC) supplies are available for some devices, in which you
