Power supply mismatch in C7000

[SantokhB]

WE have a two enclosures one which has power supplies part number 588733-001 and we tried to move 2 power supplies from one enclosure to the other one and the OA is complaining that the power supplies have to be all the same part number. The part number on the 2nd enclosure power supplies is 500242-001. Is there a way round this?

Hello, I am afraid it is new policy for power supplies after one of OA firmware release. It is due compatibilty issues between them. Isn't it posible to you have the same part in one blade chasis?
