Installing the E300 AC Power Supply Modules
The E300 Power Supply Module is capable of operating at either 110 VAC or 220 VAC. If the E300 is
connected to a 110 VAC power supply, three power supply modules are required to provide power to the
E300 system, or four power supply modules are required for power supply redundancy.
If the E300 is connected to a 220 VAC power supply, two power supply modules are required to provide
power to the E300 system, three power supply modules are required for power supply redundancy, and
four power supply modules are required for full facility redundancy.
For full facility redundancy, each power supply must be attached to an independent power source with a
dedicated circuit breaker sized in accordance with your local building and electrical safety codes. To
comply with safety agency and emission requirements, a power supply blank cover must be inserted into
any unused power supply slot.
Caution: Before removing and replacing a power supply module, determine if the E300 is in full
facility redundancy or non-redundant power. Operating in non-redundant power will require a
complete system power off when removing and replacing a power supply.

Power Cord Requirements
Each AC power supply is shipped with a Force10-approved AC power cord and only that cord should be
used to connect the AC power supply to the appropriate AC outlet. The power source end of the power
cord must have an appropriately sized plug that complies with your local electrical codes. Conductor size
must also conform to your local electrical codes.
Caution: The power cord is the main power disconnect device; ensure that the socket-outlet is
located/installed near the equipment and is easily accessible.
