I've just had back a warranty replacement for a faulty 3Com gigabit switch.
While waiting for the replacement I bought another 3Com gigabit switch. Both appear to be identical though they have different model numbers and the power packs are rated slightly different.
My original switch has 12V DC / 1.25A Max stamped on the metal plate and the external power pack reads: Input: 200-240V - 50/60Hz 0.4A and Output: +12V - 1.25A.
My new switch has 12V DC / 1.00A Max stamped on the metal plate and the external power pack reads: Input: 100-240V - 50/60Hz 0.5A and Output: +12V - 1.00A.
My question is, is it ok to use the new switch's power pack with the older original switch?? One reason I ask is that the older power pack seemed to be quite warm compared to the newer power pack.
