Hardware Overview 93Power SuppliesPC7024 and PC7024FPowerConnect 7024 and PowerConnect 7024F switches have an internal180-watt power supply. The additional external power supply (PowerConnectRPS720) provides 180 watts of power and gives full redundancy for theswitch.PC7024PPowerConnect 7024P switches have an internal 1000-watt power supply. Theadditional external power supply (PowerConnect MPS1000) provides 1000Watts and gives full redundancy for the switch.PC7048PowerConnect 7048 switches have an internal 180-watt power supply. Theadditional external power supply (PowerConnect RPS720) provides 180 wattsand gives full redundancy for the switch.PC7048PPowerConnect 7048P switches have an internal 1000-watt power supplywhich can support up to 24 ports of PoE. The additional external powersupply (PowerConnect MPS1000) allows all 48 ports of PoE, or 24 ports ofPoE and full redundancy for the switch.PC7048R and PC7048R-RAPowerConnect 7048R and PowerConnect 7048R-RA switches are designed astop-of-rack switches and include two internal, replaceable, AC power suppliesfor redundant or load-sharing operation. Each power supply can provide 300watts and includes hot-swap support. This means you do not need to power-down the switch to remove or replace one power supply while the other powersupply is operating normally. However, it is necessary to remove power fromthe power supply that is being removed or replaced.CAUTION: Remove the power cable from the modules prior to removing themodule itself. Power must not be connected prior to insertion in the chassis.
