AC PSUs and supplying AC power to the chassis

AC PSUs and supplying AC power to the chassis

The FortiSwitch-AX9004G chassis front panel can include up to eight hot swappable AC PSUs. The output power of an AC PSU varies depending on the input voltage as shown below:

  • 1400W, 100-120V, 16A AC PSUs.

  • 3000W, 200-240V, 16A AC PSUs.

See FortiSwitch-AX9004G front panel for locations of the PSUs.

You can mix AC PSUs with different power supply voltages in the same chassis.

The number of PSUs required by a chassis depends on the number of supervisors and line cards in the chassis.

If the chassis does not have enough power because PSUs have failed or become disconnected, the supervisors and line cards within the chassis may shut down.

To improve redundancy, you can connect each PSU to a separate power source.

AC PSUs, power connectors, and cables

The AC power supply unit (FS-AX9000G-PS-3KAC) is equipped with an IEC320 C20 power connector.

The AC PSU also includes C19 power cables to connect the PSUs to data center power or PDUs.

  • Connect the C19 AC power cable to the PSU power connector (C20).

  • Connect the other end of the AC power cable to your power supply or PDU.
