VG310 DC connector

[psoares123]

On the DC connector I can see 2 pins for +12V (power) and 2 GND (Input enable).

What does it mean?

Means that we can use two sources for power?

Hi Paulo,

I do not believe the 2 pins +12V and ground are meant to provide power from multiple sources. I think they are setup similar other electronics where you have multiple pins providing the same voltage. For example in your desktop computer there are similar connectors (like an 8 Pin CPU connector) carrying multiple pins of +12V.

Further, I think Cisco would have specifically called it out in the documentation if you could use dual power DC power sources if they designed it with that capability.

Hope this helps.
