Operational Notes
A Passport 8000 Series Chassis with up to five installed modules can operate with one installed power supply. For a redundant power configuration, install two power supplies.
A Passport 8010 Chassis with more than six installed modules requires a minimum of two power supplies for a nonredundant configuration. A redundant configuration for such a chassis requires three power supplies.

To correct this condition, turn off both power supplies, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn on both power supplies again within 2 seconds.
If the DC input power source is below 2400 W, you may want to have a separate input source for each power supply.
