The following example shows how to set the power management mode to combined mode:
Switch(config)# power redundancy-mode combined
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
The following example shows how to display the current power redundancy mode. The power supplies
needed by system: 2 indicates that the switch is in combined mode.

Available Power for Catalyst 4500 Series Switches Power Supplies
Table 10-6 lists the power available for use in the various Catalyst 4500 series switches power supp lies.
When your switch is configured to combined mode, the total available power in not the mathematical
sum of the individual power supplies. The power supplies have a sharing ratio predetermined by the
hardware. In combined mode, the total power available is P + (P * sharing-ratio), where P is the amount
of power in the power supply.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# power redundancy-mode combined Sets the power management mode to
combined mode.
Step 3 Switch(config)# end Exits configuration mode.
Step 4 Switch# show power supplies Verifies the power redundancy mode for
the switch.
