Load Sharing
Load sharing occurs when more than one power supply of the same rating are
installed in the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch and turned on. Load sharing
divides the total power load of the switch among all available power supplies.
Since the power supplies work together, the effective power capacity of the
switch is increased with each additional power supply.

When using more than power supply, verify that they are all of the same
type. Do not mix 200 W and 400 W power supplies in the same chassis.
Redundancy
With power redundancy, the Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch can continue normal
operation even when a power supply fails or is turned off. When multiple
power supplies are installed, if one becomes unavailable (fails, or is turned off
or removed) the remaining power supplies will attempt to provide full power
for the switch. If the switch’s total power load does not exceed the combined
rated output of the remaining, operational power supplies, the switch will
continue to operate.

This feature depends on the number and type of modules installed in
your Alcatel Wireless LAN Switch. For details, see

Hot Swap
Hot swapping should be performed by a trained technician. Hot swapping
allows you to replace one failed power supply while the others provide full
power. This makes it unnecessary to shut down the Alcatel Wireless LAN
Switch during the replacement procedure.
Hot swapping is supported only when power redundancy is in effect. This
requires that after the target power supply is removed, the switch’s total
power load does not exceed the combined rated output of the remaining
power supplies.
