1.3 Power Supply
WAF 1000M and 10G series can receive AC power input from two power supplies. If two
independent power supplies are used, connect WAF to both of them to maintain WAF's
reliability even when one power supply breaks down.
The power switch and the power cable interface are located at the rear of the chassis, as
shown in Figure 1-2, Figure 1-4, Figure 1-6, and Figure 1-8.
The power module achievesAC input of the following specifications:
⚫Voltage range: 100–240 VAC; 50 Hz/60 Hz
⚫Maximum output power: 400 W
100M WAF series support one power system only.
1.4 LEDs
There are four types of LEDs on the front panel of the chassis: power LED, status LED,
system LED, and network interface LEDs. Different models of devices have different types
and numbers of LEDs.
