Power Distribution Guidelines
The following section details power distribution guidelines and recommendations
for the QLogic 12800 series.
 The power supplies for the 12800 series has a maximum inlet current of
15amps @ 110volts and 6amps @ 220volts. Please observe power outlet,
power strip and extension cable ratings.
 Do not exceed 80% of the ampere rating limit of the power outlet, power strip
or an extension cable that the equipment is plugged into. As such, the power
delivery system must be that the power supplies do not overpower the
maximum amperage of any given system. For the 12800-360 and
12800-180 it is recommended to power the systems over 220 volts.
CAUTION!
High-powered systems, such as the 12800-180 and 12800-360 can
place significant loads on power distribution units (PDUs) and
uninteruptable power supplies (UPSs). It is recommended to measure
the total amperage and power that a PDU or UPS needs to handle.
