Power Requirements

The C150 needs at least one power supply to operate. However, Dell Force10 recommends a one-plus-

one redundancy configuration. That is, use a minimum of two AC or DC power supplies; one is for

redundancy.

The C150 power requirements are given below:

Shipping and Storing Components

If you do not install your C150 system and components immediately, Dell Force10 recommends you

properly store components (including all extra field-replaceable parts) until you are ready to install them.

Follow these indoor storage guidelines:

• Storage temperature should remain constant ranging from 41° to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)

• Non-condensing relative humidity should be maintained with 5 to 95%.

• Store on a dry floor, away from direct sunlight, heat, and air conditioning ducts.

• Store in a dust-free environment.

Save the protective packaging in which your line cards, RPMs, power supplies, and fan tray arrived. The

packaging can be used in case you experience trouble with a component and must return it to Dell

Force10. Place the components in their original protective shipping packaging and original shipping

position.

NOTE: Do not transport the chassis with the components (line cards, power supplies, and RPMs) installed.

Place the components in their original protective shipping packaging and original shipping position. Shipping

components installed in the chassis or without their protective packaging, might damage the components or

the backplane.
