Power Supply Modules

About the Power Supply Modules

The Topspin 270 power supply units are hot-swappable. Only one power module is necessary to power the unit; however, two power supplies are recommended for redundancy.

You can add a second module without powering off the chassis. If you have two power supply units installed, you can remove one of them without removing power from the chassis.

About a Failed Power Supply

If you believe a power supply module has failed, contact technical support.

Do not remove a failed power supply unless you have a new power supply to install immediately, or a blanking panel to place over the open bay as overheating may occur.
