Power and Thermal Management
Power and thermal management are important considerations when using the C9400-PWR-2100AC Cisco 2100 Watt AC Power Supply. The power supply provides 2100 watts of power to the Cisco 9400 series switch platform, and it is designed to operate within a specific temperature range and power usage.
Power management for the C9400-PWR-2100AC includes features such as power-on self-test (POST) and over-power protection to ensure the power supply is functioning properly and to protect against power overloads. Additionally, the power supply is designed to provide redundant power to the switch to ensure high availability in the event of a power failure.
Thermal management for the C9400-PWR-2100AC includes features such as temperature sensors and cooling fans to ensure the power supply operates within safe temperature ranges. The power supply also has a built-in thermal management system that adjusts fan speed based on the temperature inside the switch. This helps to ensure that the power supply remains cool and operates efficiently, even under heavy loads.
