AC power supply
Installing an AC power supply
Important:
Installing a combination of AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis is not
supported.
The VSP 8000 Series supports two field-replaceable 800W power supplies. One comes with the
switch and you can install a second power supply to provide redundancy and load sharing.
There are two power supply slots (PSU1 on top and PSU2 on the bottom).
• If you only have one power supply, you can install it in either PSU1 or PSU2.
