The power supplies are auto-sensing and auto-switching, and provide 600 watts of total output power, including +12VDC @ 10A to the
system and -48VDC@ 10A for Power over Ethernet applications. The power supplies provide 100-240 VAC input, 50-60Hz @ 8A to
3.2A.
Power supplies can be swapped in or out of the device while the device is running, and without opening the device. If the device contains
redundant power supplies, you can remove one of the supplies without interrupting operation because the remaining power supply
provides enough power for all of the ports.
For power supply hardware specifications, refer to
NOTE
A FastIron GS or GS-STK POE device with dual power supplies may not provide redundancy, depending on how much power
the POE ports are consuming. Refer to
Disconnect the power supply cable from the power source (outlet) before you install it in or remove it from
the device. Failure to do this can result in damage to the power supply or the device, or both. (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.)
The FGS power supply is designed exclusively for use with FGS and FGS-STK devices. Installing the power
supply in a device other than an FGS or FGS-STK will cause extensive damage to your equipment.
Power specifications for POE
The implementation of the 802.3af standard limits power to 15.4W (44V to 57V) from the power sourcing device. This limit complies
with safety standards and existing wiring limitations. Though limited by the 802.3af standard, 15.4 watts of power is ample, as most
powered devices consume an average of 5 to 12 watts of power. IP phones, wireless LAN access points, and network surveillance
cameras each consume an average of 3.5 to 9 watts of power.
