Power Capabilities and Considerations

FLEX24 switches come standard with a hot swappable PowerWise power supply for power/load sharing.
The switch will support either an AC or DC power source.
The switches are amongst the lowest power consuming switches in the industry.
For a redundant power configuration, daisy-chain multiple FLEX24 switches:
You can connect up to a maximum of 4 units for power/load sharing.
•
Mount all FLEX24 switches in the same equipment rack, with no more than 1U
space between any two units.
Note: You can daisy-chain the units together while they are up and running or
power them up afterward.
•
Facing the rear of the units, install the DC cables (available through
Phybridge) as follows:
Note: To fit properly, the DC cable must be inserted into the DC input/output
connector with its hairpin clip on top.
•
For the top unit, insert the first cable into the DC input connector on the left
until it clicks into place. Bring the other end of the cable down to the next
unit, and connect to the DC output connector on the right.
•
Continue in the same way for each pair of units, connecting the DC input (left)
connector on the upper unit to the DC output (right) connector on the lower
unit.
Important: For the bottom unit, the last cable from the DC input (left)
connector goes up to the DC output (right) connector on the top unit. This is
required to create a fully redundant ring.
Note: If you need to move a cable to a different DC connector on the FLEX24, press the hairpin clip at the top
of the DC cable and pull the cable out.
