this section provides guidelines for connecting the catalyst 4500 series switch ac power supplies to the site power source. basic guidelines include the following:
1 make sure each chassis power supply has its own dedicated branch circuit.
2 size the circuits according to local and national codes.
3 if you are using a 200/240 vac power source in north america, use a two-pole circuit breaker to protect the circuit.
4 place the source ac outlet within 6 feet (1.8 meters) of the system and make sure it is easily accessible.
5 make sure the ac power receptacles used to plug in the chassis are the grounding type. the grounding conductors that connect to the receptacles should connect to protective earth ground at the service equipment.
