RE: Cat6500 PSU interoperability [7:60949]

2003-01-22 Thread Frank Jimenez
That's really interesting - I noticed at the bottom of the config that
each PS looks like it is only generating 1150W.


PS1 Capacity: 1153.32 Watts (27.46 Amps @42V)
PS2 Capacity: 1153.32 Watts (27.46 Amps @42V)


I'm guessing that somewhere along the way, a check was added for this
situation and CatOS assumes the lower capacity PS to be the 'correct'
Wattage for both.  Just a guess.

Although it appears to function, I don't know that I'd trust it
completely or if TAC would have an issue with it.

Yes and no.

In combined mode they may be different wattages.

In redundant mode wattages must be identical.

Hi all,

The cat 6500 power supplies - 1300W and 2500W.
Can these 2 types be mixed in the same chassis or must they be the same
type?
