StackPower
Overview
StackPower
is an innovative feature that aggregates all the available power in a stack of switches and manages it as one common power pool for the entire
stack.
By pooling & distributing power across switches using a series of StackPower cables, StackPower provides simple and resilient power distribution across the
stack. Below is the back panel of MS390 depicting the location of StackPower ports.
Note: Stackpower is supported by the following switches, on firmware MS 15 or IOS-XE 17.15 and later.
• MS390, C9300 and C9300-M
• C9300X and C9300X-M
• C9300S and C9300S-M

Page 2: Feature Specification
Use Case The benefits of the StackPower technology are immediately tangible, and so are the savings. Consider a stack of switches, with each switch requiring a slightly higher power budget for some extra Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices randomly scattered in the stack. Purchasing an extra second power supply for each switch that needs additional power would be inefficient and expensive. - Page 3 Useful Terminologies • Input power – the aggregate of all of the Input Power supplies. • Allocated power – the aggregate of the all power that could be consumed by all of the circuitry (Switches, StackPower, and PoE). Note that this does not include the Reserved Power. •...

Page 4: Common Troubleshooting Steps
If the StackPower cabling is installed as suggested and you still don't see the StackPower section under Power tab reflect the correct status please reach out to Cisco Meraki Support for further troubleshooting. What if there are more than 4 switches in a data stack and I also want them to be in a StackPower setup ? StackPower can only support a maximum of 4 switches in a power-stack. - Page 5 I do not intend to use StackPower feature, can I disable it? There is no option on the dashboard to disable the StackPower feature. However, if you do not intend the switches to use the StackPower feature, please make sure to keep the StackPower cables disconnected from the StackPower ports on the switches.
