Note The blank line card (C4K-SLOT-CVR-E) must be installed when either of the following two situations occur:

A blank faceplate covering the slot 2 opening does not direct sufficient airflow to adequately cool the Supervisor Engine 6-E or the Supervisor Engine 6L-E.

Catalyst 4500 Series Power Supplies

Tables A-5 through A-12 list the specifications for the Catalyst 4500 series power supplies.


Note All Catalyst 4500 series switch AC-input power supplies require single-phase source AC. The source AC can be out of phase between multiple power supplies or multiple AC-power plugs on the same power supply because all AC power supply inputs are isolated. Each chassis power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit: 15 A or 20 A for North America and circuits sized to local and national codes for International locations.


For more information about power management and planning, refer to the “Environmental Monitoring and Power Management” chapter in the Catalyst 4500 Series Switch Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide version appropriate for your software.

Note The 4200 W AC power supply should not be used in mixed-voltage configurations. All the inputs in a chassis must be at the same voltage (110 VAC or 220 VAC).


Table A-14 shows the wattage output possible with the 4200W power supply in redundant mode. In redundant mode, both power supplies must have identical inputs and all inputs must be at the same voltage. If the input voltages are mismatched, choose the value matching the weaker of the two power supplies.
