Power Supply Cords for AC Power Supplies

To avoid causing an I/O module to be powered off, do not add a 600/900 W AC PSU to an existing BlackDiamond 8806 system running in the configuration listed above. Extreme Networks also recommends that you avoid mixing 220 V AC and 110 V AC inputs when both 600/900 W and 700/1200 W PSUs are present in the same system. When a combination of 220 V AC and 110 V AC inputs is applied, ExtremeXOS is designed to optimize total chassis power for each individual PSU type but not for a mixture of PSU types.

NOTE

Extreme Networks does not recommended using the 1200 W DC PSU in combination with any Extreme Networks AC PSU in the same BlackDiamond 8800 series system. Extreme Networks recommends that DC and AC PSU units not be used together in the same BlackDiamond switch.

Minimum Software Requirements

In order for the system to recognize an Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC PSU, the MSM installed in your BlackDiamond 8806 switch requires ExtremeXOS version 11.6.1 (or later). In ExtremeXOS releases 11.3.4, 11.4.2, and 11.5.1, the 600/900 W AC PSU is disabled on all chassis. In ExtremeXOS releases earlier than those, the software does not recognize the 600/900 W AC PSU and the PSU will not be budgeted properly, possibly resulting in PSU shutdown and/or chassis reboot.

The 700/1200 W AC PSU is supported by all versions of ExtremeXOS.

For the system to recognize the 1200W DC PSU, the MSM in your BlackDiamond 8800 series switch must be running ExtremeXOS version 11.3 or later.

Power Supply Cords for AC Power Supplies

Extreme Networks AC PSU(s) are shipped with both 110 V AC and 220 V AC power supply cords. Table 15 shows the maximum DC power output allowed by these power cords when used with each AC power supply.

All power supply cords provided by Extreme Networks are designed for use only in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Power supply cords for use outside of North America are typically provided by a third-party distribution center and must meet the following requirements:

The power supply cord must be agency-certified for the country of use.

The power supply cord must have an IEC 320 C13 plug to connect to the IEC320 C14 connector on the power supply.

The power supply cord must have an appropriately rated and approved wall plug applicable to the country of installation.
