Dell PowerConnect W-6000M3 Controller Module
| Installation Guide
Power Management
The W-6000 controller supports up to three 400 W power supplies. If using one to two primary power supplies for
400 to 800 W of primary power, the use of a 400 W redundant power supply is possible.
For maximum capacity planning, add the maximum power draw required for all of the modules in your chassis
configuration to determine the required number of power supplies.
