W at low-line (15 A at 100-120 V) to the chassis. The EX8208
also supports a 3000 W power supply for high-line operation.
A redundant-input 2000 W DC power supply is also available
for central office deployments. The EX8200 power supplies
are more than 90 percent efficient at a wide range of loads,
minimizing building power requirements and reducing overall power
consumption. These power supplies are interchangeable across the
EX8200 line, simplifying maintenance and sparing.
The EX8208 switch features an extra slot to accommodate a
second SRE module, providing N+1 redundancy. When a second
SRE module is present, the integrated Routing Engine serves as a
backup in hot standby mode, ready to take over in the event of a
master RE failure. Should the master fail, an integrated Layer 2 and
Layer 3 Graceful Route Engine Switchover (GRES) feature seamlessly
transfers control to the backup, maintaining uninterrupted access to
applications, services, and IP communications.
Although only two power supplies are required for basic

OS adheres to a highly disciplined development process that uses
a single source code, follows a single quarterly release train, and
isolated failures from bringing an entire system down.
