Catalyst 6500 PS Combinations
Hello group,
Sorry for the off-topic.
I’m trying to find the Power Supplies combinations we may have in a Catalyst 6509 running 12.2SXF8.
1) I found a document saying that the PS’s must be of the same wattage and that we can have both AC and DC PS’s in the same chassis:
“In systems with redundant power supplies, both power supplies must be of the same wattage. The Catalyst 6500 series switches allow you to use both AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis. For detailed information on supported power supply configurations, refer to the Catalyst 6500 Series Switch Installation Guide.”

2) In the Installation guide, it says that they can be of different wattage:
“Installed power supplies can be of different wattage ratings. Installed power supplies can also be both AC-input, both DC-input, or one AC-input and one DC-input. Power supplies can be configured in either redundant or combined mode.”

What is the truth here ?
Basically i need to know if these combinations are supported:
2500-DC + 2500-AC
2500-DC + 4000-DC
Thanks.
