Is it possible to replace the power supply in the Cisco 2621-DC with an AC power supply?

CableandKits had the 2500/2600/PIX515 power supplies for $5 or $6 -- not sure if that's a limited time special or if they are cleaning out inventory, but it was on their website in the last couple of days.:mike: Cisco Certifications -- Collect the Entire Set! -

I'll give it a try tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks for the tip on the low priced power supplies.
Note:
I have some 6509 switches in production with a DC and AC power supply in redundant mode. No problems at all. -

They use a 47 watt p8 connector psu. The same psu can be found in the 2600, 2600xm, pix515, vg200, ids 4215 and probably a few other identical chassis devices.There is no place like 127.0.0.1 -

I can confirm that it works as I performed the swap today without issue.
