Arista PWR-1513-AC-BLUE | 1500W AC Power Supply, 1RU, Reverse Airflow

Q: What does the blue handle indicate on this power supply?
A: The blue handle indicates reverse airflow direction, meaning air flows from the rear (port side) to the front of the switch. This must match your switch chassis airflow configuration for proper cooling.

Q: Which Arista switch models are compatible with the PWR-1513-AC-BLUE?
A: This power supply is designed for Arista 7280R3 Series data center switches, including models like the 7280PR3, 7280DR3, and 7280CR3 Series that require 1500W power supplies.

Q: What is the difference between PWR-1513-AC-RED and PWR-1513-AC-BLUE?
A: The PWR-1513-AC-RED has forward (front-to-rear) airflow, while the PWR-1513-AC-BLUE has reverse (rear-to-front) airflow. The color coding helps ensure proper airflow matching in redundant power supply configurations.

Q: Is this power supply hot-swappable?
A: Yes, the PWR-1513-AC-BLUE is designed as a hot-plug module, allowing replacement without powering down the switch when used in redundant configurations.

Q: What efficiency rating does this power supply have?
A: This power supply achieves 93% efficiency with Platinum certification, reducing energy consumption and heat generation in data center environments.
