WS-3850 switches with second powersupply

[tringwelski_2]

Does the power supplies in WS-3850 switches need to be identical? ie 715watt, or 1100 watt, when you add a second ps in bay 2?

No, you can have a mix of different power supplies.

I was able to track this down on my own also I have attached the url for verification

Q.    Can you mix power supplies in Cisco Catalyst 3850 switches?

A.     Yes. You can mix the power supply types either in a standalone switch or in a stack. That is, you can combine a 350W AC power supply (the default for a data-only switch) with a 715W or 1100W AC power supply (the default in a full PoE switch) or with a 440W DC power supply.
