FAQ
Is this module compatible with AC power supplies?
The 129478-01 is specifically a High Voltage DC input module. While it resides in the same 3500/15 power supply family, it is designed for DC input. Please verify your system requirements and existing power supply modules before installation.
Can this module be used in a redundant configuration?
Yes, the 3500 rack system supports dual power supply configurations. You can install two modules to provide redundancy, where the lower supply typically acts as the primary and the upper as the backup.
