When 2+2 power supply combination is used, the users are advised to configure the Fabric Watch setting for switch
marginal state to be two power supplies. Users can use the CLI switchstatuspolicyset to configure this value if the current
value is set to zero. In FOS v7.0.x, the default setting for the marginal state due to missing power supplies is incorrectly
set to zero (Defect 000349586), which will prevent Fabric Watch from generating notifications when the switch enters
the marginal state due to missing power supplies.
