■ Active-Active switching fabric utilizes all available system bandwidth, and fast failover
is provided with the second control card in hot-standby.
■ Supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (30W): two additional PoE PSUs can be installed to
maximize power available to connected devices
■ Designed to reduce power consumption (high efficiency power supplies and low
power chip sets) and minimize hazardous waste
■ An ECO-Switch button on the front panel allows conservation of additional power by
turning off all diagnostic LED indicators when they are not required

PSUs and Fan Tray
The switch uses high efficiency power supplies. Each power supply can be fed from a
separate power source to increase reliability.
■ SBxPWRSYS1 (1200W AC System Power Supply)
The switch operates with one system PSU, and installing a second loadsharing PSU
provides ultimate redundancy.
■ SBxPWRPOE1 (1200W AC PoE Power Supply)
Two PoE PSUs can be installed to maximize power available to connected devices.
■ SBxFAN12 (Fan tray for 12 slot chassis)
The PSUs and the fan tray are all hot-swappable to maximise uptime during
maintenance or reconfiguration.
