Installing AC Power Supplies
The C300 has eight power supply slots at the front-bottom of the chassis ( Figure 7-1 ). There are two types
of power supplies: Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply 1600W-AC. The slots accept either of
the AC Power Supply Units (PSUs).
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 be lost.
• The minimum and the redundant power supplies required to operate is listed in the table below. Dell
Networking recommends the redundancy configuration. Additional power supplies are required to
enable Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+). See Power Over Ethernet (PoE).
• To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank on all unused power supply slots.
• Connect the C300 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 in the section
System Specifications
WARNING: The C300 does not have a main disconnect device installed. It is the responsibility of the installer
to provide a suitable disconnecting device in the building installation and ensure that it is located/installed near
the equipment and is easily accessible.
