Backup Power Supply Components
OmniSwitch 6800 Series switches support optional backup power supply components. Components
include:
• OS6800-BPS-SHLF backup power supply shelf
• OS6800-BPS 225W backup power supply module
• Backup power supply daughtercard
• Backup power supply connector cable
When backup power supply components are installed, the primary (factory-installed) power supply contin-
ues to take on the full power load for switch operations. Meanwhile, the backup power supply operates in
active standby mode. If the primary power supply fails unexpectedly, the backup power supply automati-
cally takes up the full power load without disrupting the switch.
Because the OmniSwitch 6800 Series backup power supply system is chassis-based—with each chassis
supporting up to eight backup power supplies—this provides 1:1 redundancy for stacks of up to eight
switches.
