If you have max inputs 3 configured with four “good” (220 V) inputs and you limit the user to 5500 W
instead of 7600 W and one subunit fails or is powered off, you have three quality inputs providing 5500
W and the chassis is powered at the same rate as it was prior to the failure event:
Switch# configuration terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# power redundancy combined max inputs 3
Switch(config)# end
Switch#

Here is the output after invoking this feature. The combined mode was indicated before
Power supplies needed = 2 in the output of the show power command, combined mode is now indicated
by the phrase Power supplies needed by system : 2 Maximum Inputs = 3.

Command Purpose
Step 1 Switch# configure terminal Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 Switch(config)# power redundancy combined max
inputs {2 | 3}Limits the power usage to two or three
inputs.
Note The maximum inputs part of the
command is ignored by all power
supplies other than the 4200 W AC or
6000 W AC.
Step 3 Switch(config)# end Exits configuration mode.
