3.2.4 Installing a Power Supply

You must install at least one power supply in the Matrix E7 chassis. One power supply provides

sufficient power for most module configurations, but a second power supply can be installed to

provide a redundant, load sharing power source.

CAUTION: Newer models of modules may require more power to operate. If the power

requirement of the module population in a Matrix E7 chassis exceeds the power output

of a single 6C207-1 (1200-Watt) power supply, it is not recommended to install a

6C207-1 (1200-Watt) and a 6C207-3 (1600-Watt) power supply in the same chassis. In

the event that the 6C207-3 fails, the 6C207-1 may not be able to handle the maximum

power requirements, eliminating power redundancy and causing the system to fail and

disrupt network traffic.

CAUTION: Make sure that the correct power supply is installed to handle the power

needed by the module population. Otherwise, an overload may result in damage to the

power supply.
