Checking the Shipping Container Contents
Power Supply Cooling
Power supplies have built-in fans and are completely self-cooling. Air enters from the right of the fan
and exits through the left.
Load Sharing
With two power supplies, each power supply concurrently provides approximately half of the required
power to the system. If one power supply fails, the second power supply immediately assumes full power
to maintain uninterrupted system operation. The second power supply enables load sharing and fault
tolerance automatically; no software configuration is required.
Checking the Shipping Container Contents
Use the Cisco SCE8000 Component List to check the contents of the Cisco SCE8000 platform shipping
container.
Tip Do not discard the shipping container when you unpack the Cisco SC E8000. Flatten the shipping cartons
and store them with the pallet. You will need these containers if you need to move or ship the Cisco
SCE8000 in the future.
