Re: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257]
I have worked with the catalyst 4006. The 4006 will still operate wiht only one power supply. I have tested it under such conditions with only one power supply, one SUP and four 48 port modules( this is considered a partial populated chasis ), I assume that on a fully populated chasis at least two power supplies would be required to run the unit.

RE: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257]
The one problem with running it on one power supply is that it can only power the first four blades. When booted it will only bring up the supervisor as well under the latest code releases. Older code will allow it to bring up the first four blades and leave the last two in a disabled state, if so equipped.

RE: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257]
I agree, all of mine will run off one power supply although I would NEVER advise that. I would worry more about the sup going out. In 4 4006's I have had 3 fail. Never a poer supply and we have three in each.

Re: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257]
I can add this.In the past year I have replaced 3 power supplies on 3 different 4006's. I would probably vote to have the extra one's in.

RE: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257]
I believe that this link will explain everything about the Catalyst 4006 power system. It looks like you need at least 2 power supplies at minimum. We have been running a 4006 for 2 years with 2 power supplies. So far we haven't had any problems with them. http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/cat4000/rel6_3/config/ad min.htm#xtocid1085919 -Original Message- From: x [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 8:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257] Jeff, We just bought a Cisco 4006 switch.

RE: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257]
The 4006 comes standard with 2, you cannot get just 1. Don't try and run that 4006 full with blades on just 1 power supply... Also, if you are going to run the 4006 with inline power, you will need the additional AUX Power shelf with 3 more power supplies.. nothing like plugging in 6 power supplies. :) Tim CCIE 9015 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of x Sent: Friday, April 12, 2002 8:01 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: 4006 Power Supplies [7:41257] Jeff, We just bought a Cisco 4006 switch.
