NOTE:
If two 1200 W AC&240 V DC power modules are installed on the CE8850-64CQ-EI and 110 V AC power input is provided to the power modules, you are advised to perform the following operations:
Use an external power source that provides 110 V input with double live wires. In this case, each power module provides 1200 W of rated output power and the power modules work in 1+1 redundancy mode.
If the external power source provides 110 V input with a single live wire, each power module provides 800 W of rated output power. In this case, two power modules must be configured. They power the switch at the same time and do not work in redundancy mode.
