Chapter 2 Preparing for Installation
Power Connection Guidelines
Power Requirements
Follow these requirements when preparing your site for the switch installation:
•The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the chassis continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.
•In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to a separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
•To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
•In some systems, you might use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures at your site. Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems like the Cisco 7609 Internet Router, which can have substantial current draw fluctuations due to bursty data traffic patterns.
