configuration.
Note: Similar behavior is also seen if a linecard is physically removed from the chassis and the supervisor is
switched over. The new active supervisor also prints an error message for the missing linecard. Issue the copy
start run command once the linecard is inserted back into the chassis.
Power Supply Redundancy
Catalyst 4500 Series Switches provide 1+1 redundancy for power supply. The power supply can also run in a
combined mode so that chassis can supply power with the combined power. All 4500 Chassis support this
power supply redundancy feature.
Catalyst 4500s support power supply redundancy only between power supplies of equal wattage and type
(AC/DC). A mix of power supplies is not supported. The second power supply recognized is placed into
err−disable mode.
Refer to this table for the effect in each of the configuration changes.

System power is the power
capability of a single power
supply. The power supply
that is recognized first is the
one that supplies the power.
