If you are using the combined power mode or power-supply redundancy, you need only one power source. If
you are using input-source redundancy or full redundancy, you need two power sources.
Note
Unpacking and Inspecting a New Switch
Before you install a new chassis, you need to unpack and inspect it to be sure that you have all the items that
you ordered and verify that the switch was not damaged during shipment. If anything is damaged or missing,
contact your customer representative immediately.
When you handle the chassis or its components, you must follow ESD protocol at all times to prevent ESD
damage. This protocol includes but is not limited to wearing an ESD wrist strap that you connect to the earth
ground.
Caution
Do not discard the shipping container when you unpack the switch. Flatten the shipping cartons and store
them with the pallet used for the system. If you need to move or ship the system in the future, you will need
these containers.
