B. Power Supply Specifications
The base redundant system consists of one
The power supplies connect indirectly to the planar via the Power Distribution Board (PDB). There is a power cable that connects between the PDB and the backplane. Another cable also connects the PDB to the optical and/or tape drives. The PS bay sheet metal is formed as key to prevent unsupported power supply from being installed in a PowerEdge T610 system.
Starting with this generation of Dell servers, the power supplies no longer have a FRU (Field Replaceable Units) EEPROM; FRU data is now stored in the memory of the PSU Microcontroller. Additionally, the PSU Firmware can now be updated by the iDRAC over the PMBus. Power is
In a single power supply configuration, the power supply is installed in PS1 location and a blank module (metal cover) is installed in PS2 location for factory consistency. Electrically, the system can operate with a single power supply in either bay.
