Notes:
1. When 2+2 power supply combination is used, the users are advised to configure the Fabric Watch setting for
switch marginal state to be two power supplies. Users can use the CLI switchstatuspolicyset to configure this
value if the current value is set to zero. In FOS v7.0.x, the default setting for the marginal state due to missing
power supplies is incorrectly set to zero (Defect 000349586), which will prevent Fabric Watch from generating
notifications when the switch enters the marginal state due to missing power supplies
