Caution To prevent problems with the Cisco 7513, do not mix DC-input and AC-input power supplies in the same chassis. Your Cisco 7513 must have either DC-input or AC-input power supplies. Do not mix new and older AC-input power supplies in the same chassis.

The power A bay contains the first (or standard) power supply, and the power B bay contains the second (optional) supply, in systems with redundant power.
