Power Supplies

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controllers support AC or DC power supply options. The modular chassis configurations support the installation of two power supplies for redundancy. When an external power supply fails or is removed, the other power supply provides power requirements for the chassis. This allows you to hot-swap the power supply without impacting the functionality of the controller.


Warning
Never install an AC power module and a DC power module in the same chassis.

Statement 1050

The power supplies are used in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration. There is no input switch on the faceplate of the power supplies. A power supply is switched from Standby to On by way of a system chassis power switch.

The following table lists the power supplies that you can order:

Part Number

Power Supply

C9800-AC-1100W

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller power supply module with plug-side intake airflow, AC, 1100W, 85-264V

C9800-AC-1100W=

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller power supply module with plug-side intake airflow, AC, 1100W, 85-264V, spare

C9800-DC-950W

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller power supply module with plug-side intake airflow, DC 950W

C9800-DC-950W=

Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller power supply module with plug-side intake airflow, DC 950W, spare


Caution
The chassis has a front-to-rear airflow. All of the power supplies and fan modules in the chassis must use the same airflow direction or an error will occur with possible overheating and shut down of the controller. If you power up the controller with more than one airflow direction, you must power down the controller and replace the modules with the wrong airflow direction before powering up the controller.

Power Supply LEDs

The following table describes the power supply LEDs.

Power Supply Fans

The fans in the power supply module are used for cooling the power supply module itself while system-level cooling is provided by fans within the chassis. The power supplies do not depend on the system-level fans for cooling. Fan failure is determined by fan-rotation sensors.


Note
The fans in the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller power supplies have plug-side intake airflow.

Caution

The chassis has a front-to-rear airflow. All of the power supplies and fan modules in the same chassis must use the same airflow direction or an error will occur with possible overheating and shut down of the controller. If you power up the controller with more than one airflow direction, you must power down the controller and replace the modules with the wrong airflow direction before powering up the controller.


Note

The fans in the power supply modules will run as soon as the power supply is plugged in, even if the power switch is in the Standby position.
