Chapter 1: Overview Figure 6. AT-PWR250-80 Power Supply Figure 7 illustrates the AT-PWR800 Power Supply.This power supply is primarily intended for the PoE AT-x930-28GPX and AT-x930-52GPX Switches. It provides both system power to the switch as well as up to 480 watts of PoE power for the powered devices connected to the network ports.
Page 29: Guidelines
You may not install two different power supply models in the switch.  The non-PoE AT-x930-28GTX and AT-x930-52GTX Switches require only one power supply for full operations. Installing a second power supply adds power redundancy. It protects against interruptions to network operations in the event one power supply loses power or fails.

Page 57: Stacking Methods
x930 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Stacking Methods There are two ways to build a stack of x930 Series switches. The two methods are listed here:  S1 and S2 stacking slots  AT-StackQS Card The S1 and S2 slots are standard components on the x930 Series switches.
Page 58 Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking In contrast, the switches of a stack built with the AT-StackQS Card have to be within one meter of each other because the stacking cable for the card is one meter long. Given this, the switches of this type of stack have to reside in the same equipment rack.
Page 59: Stacking Guidelines
Here are guidelines that are specific to stacking with the S1 and S2 slots on the front panel of the switch:  You must use Allied Telesis 10G SFP+ transceivers. The switches will not form a stack with SFP+ transceivers from other network equipment providers.
Page 60: Wiring Configurations Of The Stacking Ports
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Wiring Configurations of the Stacking Ports The following sections describe the wiring configurations of the S1 and S2 slots on the front panel of the switch, and the two ports on the AT-StackQS Card. Wiring There are two rules to wiring the S1 and S2 slots when building a stack with SFP+ transceivers or direct connect cables.
Page 61: Figure 18: Stack Of Four Switches Connected With The S1 And S2 Slots
x930 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking An example of a stack of four switches is illustrated in Figure 18. Figure 18. Stack of Four Switches Connected with the S1 and S2 Slots A stack of eight switches is shown in Figure 19 on page 62.

Page 63: Wiring Configuration For The At-Stackqs Card
x930 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Wiring The two stacking ports on the AT-StackQS Card have the same wiring rules as do the S1 and S2 slots on the front panel of the switch. The first Configuration for rule is that the connections have to crossover to different ports on the the AT-StackQS cards in the switches.
Page 64: Figure 21: Stack Of Four Switches Connected With At-Stackqs Cards
Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 21. Stack of Four Switches Connected with AT-StackQS Cards Figure 22 on page 65 is a stack of eight switches.

x930 Series Installation Guide for Virtual Chassis Stacking Figure 22. Stack of Eight Switches Connected with AT-StackQS Cards...
Page 66 Chapter 2: Virtual Chassis Stacking The only significance difference in the wiring of the two stacking techniques has to do with the permitted distances between the switches of a stack. As explained in “Stacking Methods” on page 57, the switches of a stack built with the S1 and S2 ports on the front panels can be at various distances from each other because the slots support a variety of short and long distance SFP+ transceivers.
