AC Power Supply Units
The C150 has six power supply slots at the bottom front of the chassis (
Figure 7-1
).
The C150 requires only one AC power supply to operate, but Dell Force10 recommends a one-plus-one
redundancy configuration, so a minimum of two power supplies is recommended. Additional power
supplies are required to enable Power over Ethernet (PoE). See Power Over Ethernet
.
To protect against high-voltage shock, install a power supply blank on all unused power supply slots.
Connect the C150 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 Power Specifications on page
56.
