The 8260 allows you to set two different power modes, fault tolerant and non-fault tolerant.

5.3.1 Non-Fault Tolerant Mode

In the non-fault tolerant mode, 100% of installed power supplies will be available to be used by the installed modules. The amount of power available to modules is determined by the number of the installed power supplies as shown in

If a power supply should fail while the hub is operating in non-fault-tolerant

mode and the remaining power is not enough to supply all the installed modules, the Controller module will power down 8260 modules according to their power class as described in 5.2, ªPower Classº on page 74. This is an attempt to bring the power consumption under the new reduced power budget and also to ensure that the modules with the highest power class will be able to operate normally, using the available power supply. Therefore, it is recommended that you connect the critical components of your networks such as servers, routers, etc. to the 8260 modules with the highest power class.
