For more information about the power specifications of the Extreme Networks family of switches, see 
Appendix B, “Switch Technical Specifications” on page 303.

Adhere to the following requirements in order to operate your Extreme Networks equipment safely:

Ensure that your equipment is placed in an area that accommodates the power consumption and 
component heat dissipation specifications. 

Ensure that your power supply meets the site power, AC power, or DC power requirements of the 
network equipment.

Ensure that DC connections are made by an on-site electrician.

When connecting power to installed equipment, avoid connecting through an extension cord or 
power strip.

If your switch includes more than one power supply, connect each power supply to different, 
independent power sources. If a power source fails, it will only affect the switch power supply to 
which it is connected. If all switch power supplies are connected to a single power source, the entire 
switch is vulnerable to a power source failure.

Use an AC power cable appropriate for your country. Check your local electrical codes and regulatory 
agencies for power cable requirements. The countries listed in Table 19 have the following additional 
requirements:
