Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems
Connection Guidelines for AC-Powered Systems
For connecting the Cisco MDS 9396S switch AC power supplies to the site power source, follow these basic
guidelines:
• Each power supply should have its own dedicated branch circuit.
• For international, circuits should be sized according to local and national codes.
• The AC power receptacles used to plug in the chassis must be the grounding type. The grounding
SFP Transceiver Specifications
The Cisco MDS 9396S switch is compatible with SFP transceivers and cables that have LC connectors. Each
transceiver must match the transceiver on the other end of the cable in terms of wavelength, and the cable
must not exceed the stipulated cable length for reliable communications.
Cisco SFP transceivers provide the uplink interfaces, laser transmit (TX), and laser receive (RX), and they
support 850 to 1610 nm nominal wavelengths, depending upon the transceiver.
Use only Cisco SFP transceivers on the Cisco MDS 9396S switch. Each Cisco SFP transceiver is encoded
with model information that enables the switch to verify that the SFP transceiver meets the requirements for
the switch. For the list of supported SFP transceivers, see the Release Notes.
