Hi Antonio,
For the first point - it discusses if redundant.
I believe the second point is valid only if the PS are to be combined (that
is: nonredundant).
If you are using redundant mode - both PS must be same wattage (but can be a
mix of AC & DC). In combined mode, the 2 PSs wattage are totaled together.
So, your first solution is allowed if redundant or combined. Your second
solution can only be used if combined (non redundant).
From the a different area of the first post:
Nonredundant to redundant (both power supplies must be of equal wattage)

At least that's the way I'm reading this. Hope this make sense,

Subject: OT: Catalyst 6500 PS Combinations
Hello group,
Sorry for the off-topic.
I'm trying to find the Power Supplies combinations we may have in a Catalyst
6509 running 12.2SXF8.
1) I found a document saying that the PS's must be of the same wattage and
that we can have both AC and DC PS's in the same chassis:
"In systems with redundant power supplies, both power supplies must be of
the same wattage. The Catalyst 6500 series switches allow you to use both
AC-input and DC-input power supplies in the same chassis. For detailed
information on supported power supply configurations, refer to the Catalyst
6500 Series Switch Installation Guide."

2) In the Installation guide, it says that they can be of different wattage:
"Installed power supplies can be of different wattage ratings. Installed
power supplies can also be both AC-input, both DC-input, or one AC-input and
one DC-input. Power supplies can be configured in either redundant or
combined mode."

nstallation/Cat6500/01over.html#wp1085653
What is the truth here ?
Basically i need to know if these combinations are supported:
2500-DC + 2500-AC
2500-DC + 4000-DC
Thanks.
