Page 17: Preparing To Install The Chassis
• Site power meets the switch requirements. If you are using n+n redundancy, you must have two power sources within reach of the switch when it is installed in the cabinet or rack. Cisco Nexus 9408 NX-OS Mode Switch Hardware Installation Guide... - Page 18 Caution Avoid UPS types that use ferroresonant technology. These UPS types can become unstable with systems such as the Cisco Nexus switches. These switches can have substantial current draw fluctuations because of fluctuating data traffic patterns. Ensure that circuits are sized according to local and national codes. For North America, the power supply requires a 15-A or 20-A circuit.
