Installing a Power Supply

CAUTION: Newer models of modules may require more power to operate. If the power
requirement of the module population in a Matrix E7 chassis exceeds the power output
of a single 6C207-1 (1200-Watt) power supply, it is not recommended to install a
6C207-1 (1200-Watt) and a 6C207-3 (1600-Watt) power supply in the same chassis. In
the event that the 6C207-3 fails, the 6C207-1 may not be able to handle the maximum
power requirements, eliminating power redundancy and causing the system to fail and
disrupt network traffic.
You must install at least one power supply in the Matrix E7 chassis. One power supply provides
sufficient power for most module configurations, but a second power supply can be installed to
provide a redundant, load sharing power source.
CAUTION: Make sure that the correct power supply is installed to handle the power
needed by the module population. Otherwise, an overload may result in damage to the
power supply.
