Site Power Guidelines
The Cisco Catalyst CW9800H1 and CW9800H2 Wireless Controllerss have specific power and electrical
wiring requirements. Adhering to these requirements ensures reliable operation of the system. Follow these
precautions and recommendations when planning your site for the controller:
• The redundant power option provides a second, identical power supply to ensure that power to the chassis
• In systems configured with the redundant power option, connect each of the two power supplies to a
• To prevent a loss of input power, be sure the total maximum load on each circuit supplying the power
• Check the power at your site before installation, and periodically after installation, to ensure that you are
• Provide proper grounding to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment due to lightning striking
Electrical Circuit Requirements
The Cisco Catalyst CW9800H1 and CW9800H2 Wireless Controllerss require a dedicated electrical circuit.
If you equip it with dual-power feeds, you must provide a separate circuit for each power supply to avoid
compromising the power redundancy feature.
The Cisco Catalyst CW9800H1 and CW9800H2 Wireless Controllerss can be powered by an AC or DC
source. Ensure that equipment grounding is present and observe power-strip ratings. Make sure that the total
ampere rating of all the products plugged into the power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the rating.
