CAUTION: Do not install the Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply
1600W-AC in the same chassis. The line cards will power down and data may

If there is a failure in the power supply, it must be replaced. Power supplies are
not field serviceable.
The C150 has six power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis. The

• To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank on all
unused power supply slots.
• Connect the AC power supply to the appropriate branch circuit protection as
defined by local electrical codes.
• Verify that the remote power source complies with the system input power
specifications.
