On/Off Switch

113143

The switch will start with only one power supply plugged in, but redundant failover and load sharing will not be available in this configuration. We recommend that you always connect both power supplies to separate AC or DC circuits for optimal power reliability.

For safety reasons, the AC power supply needs to be switched off and unplugged before it is removed from a chassis or inserted into a chassis. DC supplies should have power shut off from the source before they are removed.

If only one power supply will be used, you must use the blank faceplate supplied to cover the empty power bay.

Environmental Monitoring of the Power Supplies

Using the environmental monitoring and reporting functions, you can maintain normal system operation by resolving adverse environmental conditions prior to loss of operation.

Each power supply monitors its own temperature and output voltages. The switch senses the operating condition of the power supply and reports status through software.
