No. The net5501 board have a hard limit of 28V, over that the TVS 
(Transient voltage suppressor) will kick in.... So 24V regulated or 
maybe 18V unregulated should work just fine.

If anything break feeding less than 29V it's a failure of that specific 
board and should be handled as any other service request to the place 
where you bought the unit.

And yes, I know I need to finish up the net5501 manual, until that use 
the net4801 manual or email sales at soekris.com with specific questions.
