CAUTION
The POE power supply is designed exclusively for use with the FastIron X Series POE devices. The
power supply produces extensive power to support 802.3af applications. Installing the power
supply in a device other than the FastIron X Series POE will cause extensive damage to your
equipment. Use a separate branch circuit for each AC power cord, which provides redundancy in
case one of the circuits fails.
CAUTION
Ensure that the device does not overload the power circuits, wiring, and over-current protection.
To determine the possibility of overloading the supply circuits, add the ampere (amp) ratings of all
devices installed on the same circuit as the device. Compare this total with the rating limit for the
circuit. The maximum ampere ratings are usually printed on the devices near the input power
connectors.
CAUTION
Make sure the power supply is properly inserted in the slot. Never insert the power supply upside
down.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to install the power supply without first opening the latch on the front of the power
supply. Attempting to install the power supply with a closed latch will result in mechanical
damage to the power supply and power supply slot.
