Power Management
The following configuration requires more power than a single 400 W power supply can provide:
WS-X4014 supervisor engine—110 W
Two WS-X4148-RJ modules in slots 2 and 3—65 W each (130 W total)
Two WS-X4448-GB-LX modules in slots 4 and 5—90 W each (180 W total)
Fan tray—25 W
This configuration requires 445 W and cannot be used in 1+ 1 redundancy mode for a 400 W power
supply. A single 650 W power supply provides enough power for 1+1 redundancy mode for this
configuration.
The following configuration requires more power than either a single 400 W or 650 W power supply can
provide:
WS-X4014 supervisor engine—110 W
Five 48-port 100BASE-FX modules in slots 2 through 6—120 W each (600 W total)
Fan box—25 W
This configuration requires 735 W and cannot be used in 1+ 1 redundancy mode for either a 400 W or
650 W power supply.
Remember, when considering the 1+1 redundancy mode, you must c arefully plan the configuration of
the module power usage of your chassis. An incorrect configurat ion will momentarily disrupt your
system during the evaluation cycle. To avoid this disruption, carefully plan your configuration to ensure
that it is within the power limits, or return to the default 2+1 redundancy configuration by installing a
third power supply in your switch and setting the power redundancy to 2+1 redundancy mode.
Use the power supplies required 2 command to set the power redundancy to the 2+1 redundancy mode.
Setting the Power Redundancy Mode
To configure the power redundancy mode on a Catalyst 4006 switch, perform this task:
Note The power supplies required command is not supported on a Catalyst 4500 series switch.
The default power redundancy mode is 2 (2+1) redundancy mode.
The following example shows how to set the power redundancy mode to 1 (1+1 redu ndancy mode).
Switch (config)# power supplies required 1
Switch (config)# end
Switch#
Command Purpose
Step1 Switch# configure terminal Enters configuration mode.
Step2 Switch(config)# power supplies required {1 | 2} Sets the power redundancy mode.
Step3 Switch(config)# end Exits configuration mode.
Step4 Switch# show power Verifies the power redundancy mode and the
current power usage for the switch.
