Power Requirements
The E600i supports either 2500W AC power supplies (PSUs), or DC Power Entry Modules (PEMs).Do
not mix and match power supplies. Your system must be powered by only AC or DC power, it cannot use
both at the same time.
NOTE: Do not use different versions of power supplies. If you are replacing an AC power supply, you must
replace all the PSUs in your system with the new versions. Contact Dell Force10 Technical Support if you
have any question regarding the version of PSU used in your system.
2500W AC Power Requirements
The E600i 2500W AC power supply (CAT# CC-E600i-2500W-AC2) can operate at either 100 VAC or
220 VAC. If the E600i is connected to an 100 VAC power supply, it provides up to 1500W.
DC Power Requirements
Each E-Series system requires at least one DC PEM to operate. Two units are recommended for full
facility redundancy.
Storage Requirements
If you do not install all of your system components, store them in the original packaging in an
environment:
• constant temperature between -40°F to 158°F (-40°C to 70°C)
• non-condensing relative humidity between 5 and 95%
• dry, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts
• dust-free
