Site Power Guidelines
The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller has specific power and electrical wiring requirements.
Adhering to these requirements ensures reliable operation of the system. Follow these precautions and
recommendations when planning your site for the controller:
• The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the chassis
continues uninterrupted if one power supply fails or input power on one line fails.
• In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to a
separate input power source. If you fail to do this, your system might be susceptible to total power failure
due to a fault in the external wiring or a tripped circuit breaker.
• To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power
supplies is within the current ratings of the wiring and breakers.
• Check the power at your site before installation, and periodically after installation, to ensure that you are
receiving clean power. Install a power conditioner if necessary.
• Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning striking
power lines or due to power surges. The chassis ground must be attached to a central office or other
interior ground system.
