How to Configure Internal Power Supplies

Configuring Internal Power Supply

You can use the power supply EXEC command to configure and manage the internal power supply on the switch. The switch does not support the no power supply EXEC command.

Follow these steps beginning in user EXEC mode:

Procedure

  Command or Action Purpose
Step 1

power supply switch_number slot {A | B } { off | on }

Example:


Switch# power supply 1 slot A on

Sets the specified power supply to off or on by using one of these keywords:

  • A —Selects the power supply in slot A.

  • B —Selects power supply in slot B.

    Note 

    Power supply slot B is the closest to the outer edge of the switch.

  • off —Set the power supply off.

  • on —Set the power supply on.

By default, the switch power supply is on.

Step 2

show environment power

Example:


Switch# show environment power

Verifies your settings.
