2. RuggedBackbone™ Modules
2.5. Power Module
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 may be equipped with either one or two Power Modules (PM). Not only do two power supplies provide redundancy, but the RX5000 is also able to balance the load it places on each one.
Each Power Module is capable of delivering a maximum of 100W, and accepts either AC or DC power at its input. Power Supply Modules are installed in the PM1 or PM2 slots of the chassis, as shown in the Figure 2.1, “Chassis Slot Assignment”diagram.
Power Supply Modules may be ordered as separate components. Refer to the RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 datasheet for complete ordering details.
