provides enough power for all the ports. For more information, see “Installing an Additional Power Supply” on
page 3-5.
NOTE: A FastIron GS POE device with dual power supplies may not provide redundancy, depending on how
much power the POE ports are consuming. See “Power Specifications for POE” on page2-14.
CAUTION: Remove the power cord from a power supply before you install it in or remove it from the device.
Otherwise, the power supply or the device could be damaged. The device can be running while a power supply is
being installed or removed, but the power supply itself should not be connected to a power source.
All power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching.
