Chapter 1 Product Overview
Power Supplies
For a 1400 W DC power supply, the main power switch has an input range of
–40.5 to –72 V DC, while the –48 V PoE operates over a range of –40.5 to
–56 V DC. The PoE either fails to start or shuts down if exposed to greater than
–56 V DC input. PoE recovers after you recycle input power within the proper
voltage range. If the PoE shuts down due to input overvoltage (greater than –56
V DC), the main converter section does not shut down.
The supervisor engine monitors the status of each power supply and provides a
status report through the switch software. For more details on how the supervisor
engine monitors the power supplies, refer to the “Environmental Monitoring and
Power Management” chapter of the

1400 W DC Triple-input Power Supply Operational Modes
The C4500 1400 W DC Triple Input SP Power Supply (data only) allows added
redundancy by providing terminals for two DC inputs rated at 15 A and one rated
at 12.5 A per power supply.
This power supply has five operational modes depending on the inputs receiving
power. When all three inputs are active, at input voltages greater than –44.0 V
DC, the power supply delivers 1400 W maximum total output.
Table 1-8
provides
output information for these modes, given a single supply.
