Ethernet Routing Switch 5900 Series models that support PoE use 1000 W or 1400 W power supply. This power supply is unique to ERS 5900 Series. The power adapter on 1000 W or 1400 W power supply utilizes an IEC 60320 C16 connector. The IEC 60320 C16 connector accepts only an IEC 60320 C15 mating power cable and the IEC 60320 C16 connector utilizes a keying feature which prevents IEC 60320 C13 connector from being inserted in C16 socket.

(via the Cascade Down cable) becomes unit 2 (and the next unit is unit 3 and so on), until the maximum stack configuration (up to eight units for an ERS 5900 Series stack and up to four units for an ERS 59100 stack) is reached. If the base unit is changed to another unit in the stack, the new base unit keeps its original unit number in the stack.
Page 54
In this configuration, the base unit discovers the stack in a cascade down (stack down) direction. The following illustration shows a cascade down (stack down) configuration for ERS 5900 switch series. The ERS 59100 switch can be connected similarly. February 2020 Installing ERS 5900 Series...
