(identified by the ground symbol next to the connector) somewhere on the front panel. If you have an older Catalyst 6880-X chassis equipped with a plastic banana plug connector, it is recommend that you use either the supplied ESD grounding wrist strap (with a metal clip) or an ESD grounding wrist strap equipped with an alligator clip.
Be aware when selecting a UPS that some UPS models that use ferroresonant technology can become unstable when operating with the Catalyst 6880-X switch power supplies which use power factor correction (PFC). This can cause the output voltage waveform to the switch to become distorted resulting in an undervoltage situation in the system.
Power Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems This section provides the basic guidelines for connecting the Catalyst 6880-X switch AC power supplies to the site power source: • Each chassis power supply should have a separate, dedicated branch circuit.
We strongly recommend that power cabling runs and other potential noise sources be located as far away Caution as practical from LAN cabling that terminates on Cisco equipment. In situations where this type of long parallel cable runs exist and cannot be separated by at least 3.3 feet (1 meter), we recommend that you shield these potential noise sources.
