The power supplies require a 20 A/220 Vac input cord, which is provided with the chassis. The AC outlet to the switch must be properly grounded.

  • Page 51: Power Cord And Cable Requirements

    System Specifications Power Cord and Cable Requirements If you want to plan for future expansion, you can budget for a total of 1704 Watts power dissipation. This is equivalent to 5812 BTUs/hour. Power Cord and Cable Requirements Table 5-3 lists the required cables and power cords for the switch. All cables except the AC power cord and console cable are customer-supplied.

  • Page 52: Regulatory Compliance

    System Specifications Regulatory Compliance Gigabit Ethernet ports support automatic MDI/MDIX cross-over. This feature automatically corrects the polarity of the attached CAT5 cable, regardless if it is a cross-over or straight-through type. However, for this feature to work, the port speed must be set to auto (auto-negotiate) through the CLI. When the port speed/duplex is forced (auto-negotiate is disabled), automatic MDI/MDIX cross-over is disabled, and you must cable the port using standard cross-over or straight-through cabling.
