Power Supply Cords The Extreme Networks 700/1200 W AC power supply can be used with either a 110 V AC or a 220 V AC power supply cord. If you use a 110 V AC power supply cord, the maximum DC output power of the power supply is 700 W.
Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC Power Supply The following figure shows the Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC UL-listed accessory power supply unit (Model number 41050/PS 2431). This power supply is compatible with the BlackDiamond 8806 switch. The power supply bay can accommodate up to six hot-swappable 600/900 W AC power supplies.
Page 43
The AC input is located on the switch directly below each installed power supply. Note The Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply can be used in combination with an Extreme Networks 700W/1200W AC power supply in the same BlackDiamond 8806 system.
Fuse The Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply line and neutral legs are both fused. Power to the system may still be live if the neutral fuse is open. This is not a field operator replaceable fuse. In the event of failure, immediately return the Extreme Networks 600/900 W AC power supply for a complete replacement.
