www.dell.com | support.dell.com Power Requirements The C150 needs at least one power supply to operate. However, Dell Force10 recommends a one-plusone redundancy configuration. That is, use a minimum of two AC or DC power supplies; one is for redundancy. The C150 power requirements are given below: Table 3-1.

Follow these indoor storage guidelines: • Storage temperature should remain constant ranging from 41° to 104°F (5°C to 40°C) • Non-condensing relative humidity should be maintained with 5 to 95%. • Store on a dry floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts. • Store in a dust-free environment. Save the protective packaging in which your line cards, RPMs, power supplies, and fan tray arrived. The packaging can be used in case you experience trouble with a component and must return it to Dell Force10. Place the components in their original protective shipping packaging and original shipping position. NOTE: Do not transport the chassis with the components (line cards, power supplies, and RPMs) installed. Place the components in their original protective shipping packaging and original shipping position. Shipping components installed in the chassis or without their protective packaging, might damage the components or the backplane. 12 | Preparing the Site
