Rear View
The following figure shows the rear of the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller.
Figure 5: Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller Rear View
The chassis has a front-to-rear airflow. Four internal fans draw cooling air in through the front of the chassis and across internal components to maintain an acceptable operating temperature. The fans are located at the rear of the chassis. The fans are numbered from 0 to 3, right to left.
Caution
The power supplies used in Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controllers are different and they should not be mixed or swapped. The size and structural dimensions are the same, therefore they both look alike. It would be hazardous, if you accidentally inserted the wrong power supply into the PEM slot.

Cisco Product Identification Standard

This section describes the Cisco products and services product identification standard. This feature provides you with the ability to effectively integrate and manage Cisco products in your network and business operations.

Unique Device Identifier

The Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is the Cisco product identification standard for hardware products. A product identification standard removes barriers to enterprise automation and can help you reduce operating expenses.
The UDI provides a consistent electronic, physical, and associated business-to-business information product identification standard.
The UDI is a combination of five data elements. The following table lists the UDI elements.

Description
The combination of serial number and product ID (PID) is unique and consistent across all Cisco products. The PID that is coded on hardware is called a base product identifier.
Additional orderable PIDs can be associated to a base PID. For instance, an orderable PID may describe a packaging configuration for a product or a bundled group of products sold, tested, and shipped together. Specific unique device identifier (UDI) benefits include the following:
• Identifies:
• Individual Cisco products in your networks
• PIDs and serial numbers for service and replaceable products
• Version IDs (VIDs) for product version visibility
• Facilitates discovery of products subject to recall or upgrade
• Enhances inventory automation of Cisco products
The Cisco product identification standard provides the following features:
• Version visibility—Cisco continuously improves products through feature additions. Product changes are indicated by incrementing the VID, which provides version visibility to help you understand and manage product changes. VID management ensures consistency of changes from product to product.
• Operating expense reduction—Cisco UDIs provide accurate and detailed network inventory information; identifying each Cisco product in a network element through a standard interface. Cisco operating systems can view and use this data, allowing you to automate your electronic inventory.
• Consistency across product layers—The UDIs are embedded in the hardware products and cannot be overwritten. Operating and management systems discover UDIs through standard interfaces and display UDIs in standard outputs. Standard interfaces include the IETF standard ENTITY-MIB.

Power Supplies

The Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controllers support AC or DC power supply options. The modular chassis configurations support the installation of two power supplies for redundancy. When an external power supply fails or is removed, the other power supply provides power requirements for the chassis. This allows you to hot-swap the power supply without impacting the functionality of the controller.
Caution
A controller can support two AC or DC power supplies. Do not install mixed AC and DC power supply units in the same chassis.
The power supplies are used in a 1 + 1 redundant configuration. There is no input switch on the faceplate of the power supplies. A power supply is switched from Standby to On by way of a system chassis power switch.

Caution
The chassis has a front-to-rear airflow. All of the power supplies and fan modules in the chassis must use the same airflow direction or an error will occur with possible overheating and shut down of the controller. If you power up the controller with more than one airflow direction, you must power down the controller and replace the modules with the wrong airflow direction before powering up the controller.

Power Supply Fans

The fans in the power supply module are used for cooling the power supply module itself while system-level cooling is provided by fans within the chassis. The power supplies do not depend on the system-level fans for cooling. Fan failure is determined by fan-rotation sensors.
Note
The fans in the Cisco Catalyst 9800-80 Wireless Controller power supplies have plug-side intake airflow.
Caution
