on page 34 The S25N has two AC connections Force10 Redundant Power Supply Unit (PSU) to the Current Sharing lug on the switch supporting both the switch itself and the PoE feature. The PSU kit includes: • The AC/DC rectifier (catalog name S50-01-PSU-V) • DC-to-DC cable to connect the PSU to the switch - Dell Force10 S25N-S50N | Installing S25N and S25V Systems - Page 32
on the Switch The S25N contains two AC connections, while the S25V contains one AC and one DC. An AC cable is supplied with the switch for each connection and able to supply power, the switch will only utilize them in load-sharing mode. If you attach the Force10 470W DC Redundant PSU, and you want - Dell Force10 S25N-S50N | Installing S25N and S25V Systems - Page 33
