Power Supply Module Overview

The switch operates with either one or two active power supply modules. A Catalyst 3850 switch that is part of a StackPower stack operates with power supplied by other stack switches.

You can use two AC modules, two DC modules, one AC and one DC module, or one module and a blank cover.

All power supply modules have internal fans. All switches ship with a blank cover in the second power supply slot.

Table 4-1 describes the supported internal power supply modules.

For information on available PoE, see these sections:

Table 1-15 (available PoE with AC power supply)

Table 1-16 (available PoE with DC power supply)

Table 1-17 (switch power supply requirements for PoE and PoE+)


Note A 48-port switch with one 715-W power supply provides up to 7.7 W of PoE to all ports.


The 350-W and 715-W AC power supply modules are autoranging units that support input voltages between 100 and 240 VAC. The 1100-W power supply module is an autoranging unit that supports input voltages between 115 and 240 VAC. The 440-W DC power supply module has dual input feeds (A and B) and supports input voltages between 36 and 72 VDC. The output voltage range is 51 to 57 V.

Each AC power supply module has a power cord for connection to an AC power outlet. The 1100-W and 715-W modules use a 16-AWG cord (only North America). All other modules use an 18-AWG cord. The DC power supply module must be wired to a DC power source.

Figure 4-1 to Figure 4-4 show the power supply modules.

Installation Guidelines

Table 4-1 lists the switches and the compatible power-supply modules. Observe these guidelines when removing or installing a power supply or fan module:

Do not force the power supply or fan module into the slot. This can damage the pins on the switch if they are not aligned with the module.

A power supply that is only partially connected to the switch can disrupt the system operation.

Remove power from the power-supply module before removing or installing the module.

The power supply is hot-swappable. In some configurations, such as full PoE+ or power sharing mode, removing a power supply causes powered devices to shut down until the power budget matches the input power of a single power supply. To minimize network interruption, hot swap the power supply under these circumstances:

The switch is in StackPower mode and sufficient power is available.

The switch is powered by other switches in a power stack, and no active backup is in progress.

For the switch commands that display available power budget, see the software configuration guide.


Caution Do not operate the switch with one power-supply module slot empty. For proper chassis cooling, both module slots must be populated, with either a power supply or a blank module.


Warning Blank faceplates and cover panels serve three important functions: they prevent exposure to hazardous voltages and currents inside the chassis; they contain electromagnetic interference (EMI) that might disrupt other equipment; and they direct the flow of cooling air through the chassis. Do not operate the system unless all cards, faceplates, front covers, and rear covers are in place. Statement 1029

Warning Do not reach into a vacant slot or chassis while you install or remove a module. Exposed circuitry could constitute an energy hazard. Statement 206

Warning Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install, replace, or service this equipment. Statement 1030

Warning If a Cisco external power system is not connected to the switch, install the provided connector cover on the back of the switch. Statement 386

Installing or Replacing an AC Power Supply


Step 1 Turn off the power at its source.

Step 2 Remove the power cord from the power cord retainer.

Step 3 Remove the power cord from the power connector.

Step 4 Press the release latch at the right side of the power supply module inward and slide the power supply out. (Figure 4-6).


Caution Do not leave the power-supply slot open for more than 90 seconds while the switch is operating.


Warning This unit might have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize the unit. Statement 1028

Step 5 Insert the new power supply into the power-supply slot, and gently push it into the slot (Figure 4-6). When correctly inserted, the 350-W and 715-W power supplies (excluding the power cord retainer) are flush with the switch rear panel. The 1100-W power-supply module extends 1.5 inches from the switch rear panel.

Figure 4-6 Inserting the AC-Power Supply in the Switch

Step 6 (Optional) Make a loop in the power cord and thread it through the power cord retainer (Figure 4-7).

Figure 4-7 AC-Power Supply with Power Cord Retainer

Step 7 Connect the power cord to the power supply and to an AC power outlet. Turn on the power at the power source.

Step 8 Confirm that the power supply AC OK and PS OK LEDs are green. See Table 1-18 for a description of the power supply module LEDs.

Equipment That You Need

Grounding the Switch

Installing the DC Power Supply in the Switch

Wiring the DC Input Power Source


Warning An exposed wire lead from a DC-input power source can conduct harmful levels of electricity. Be sure that no exposed portion of the DC-input power source wire extends from the terminal block plug. Statement 122

Warning Before performing any of the following procedures, ensure that power is removed from the DC circuit. Statement 1003

Warning This product relies on the building's installation for short-circuit (overcurrent) protection. Ensure that the protective device is rated not greater than: 20 A. Statement 1005

Warning A readily accessible two-poled disconnect device must be incorporated in the fixed wiring. Statement 1022

Warning Hazardous voltage or energy may be present on power terminals. Always replace cover when terminals are not in service. Be sure uninsulated conductors are not accessible when cover is in place. Statement 1086

Note The grounding architecture of this product is DC-isolated (DC-I).


Equipment That You Need

Ratcheting torque screwdriver with a number-2 Phillips head that exerts up to 15 pound-force inches (lbf-in.) of pressure.

Panduit crimping tool with optional controlled-cycle mechanism (model CT-720, CT-920, CT-920CH, CT-930, or CT-940CH).

Wire-stripping tools.

12-gauge copper ground wire (insulated or not) for the single-ground connection.

8-gauge copper ground wire (insulated or not) for the dual-ground connection.

Ground lug screw (not included in the accessory kit) and ring lug connector in the switch accessory kit. For a dual-ground connection, also use the dual-ground adapter and dual lug connector.

Four leads of 14-gauge copper wire.

Four fork-type terminals from the DC power supply accessory kit. The terminals must be the proper size for M3 screws in a Dinkle DT-35-B25-style terminal block.

Grounding the Switch

Follow the grounding procedures at your site and observe these warnings:


Warning This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024

Warning When installing or replacing the unit, the ground connection must always be made first and disconnected last. Statement 1046

Caution Follow the grounding procedure instructions, and use a UL-listed lug (included in the accessory kit).

Follow these steps to install either a single-ground lug or a dual-ground lug on the switch. Make sure to follow any grounding requirements at your site.


Step 1 Use the ground lug screw and the lug ring for a single-ground connection. Use the dual-ground adapter and dual-hole lug for a dual-ground connection.

Step 2 Strip the 12-gauge or 8-gauge ground wire to 0.5 inch (12.7 mm) ± 0.02 inch (0.5 mm) (Figure 4-8). Stripping more than the recommended amount of wire can leave exposed wire from the connector. Use 12-gauge copper ground wire for the single-ground connection. Use 8-gauge copper ground wire for the dual-ground connection.
