Power Supplies

Your system supports the following power supply modules:

•375 W (non-redundant power supply)

•400 W (redundant power supply)

If two power supplies are installed, the second power supply provides hot-swappable, power redundancy. In redundant mode, the system distributes the power load across both power supplies to maximize efficiency. When a power supply is removed with the system powered on, the full power load is picked up by the remaining power supply.

Removing a Redundant Power Supply

CAUTION: The system requires one power supply to operate normally. On power-redundant systems, remove and replace only one power supply at a time in a system that is powered on.

1Disconnect the power cable from the power supply.

2Press the release latch and slide the power supply out of the chassis. See Figure 3-14.
