(Ethernet) port to the management network. Power supplies The NeXtScale n1200 DWC Enclosure Type 5468 supports six autoranging power supplies. The power supplies get electrical power from a 200 - 240 V ac power source and convert the ac input into 12 V outputs. - Page 24 You have to install all of the six power supplies regardless of the type of power supply, the enclosure power load, or selected enclosurepower policy. The NeXtScale n1200 DWC Enclosure Type 5468 does not support mixing of low input voltage power supplies with high input voltage power supplies. For example, if you install a power supply with an input voltage of 100 - 127 V ac in a enclosure that is powered by 200 - 240 V ac power supplies, the 100 - 127 V power supply will not power on.
