Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques for managing a power supply for hot-swappable components of a high-power networking device. According to these techniques, a high-power networking device includes a power distribution module (PDM). The PDM is receive a high-voltage, high-power supply input, generate supply plurality of high-power, reduced voltage supplies, and distribute the plurality of high-power reduced voltage supplies to a plurality of hot-swappable components of the high-power networking system via an intermediate distribution plane.
