Power Supply Configuration Modes
–
Full redundancy mode—To activate this power mode, use the power redundancy-mode
redundant command. The reserve power is the greater amount of reserve power for power
supply redundancy and input source redundancy, and the available power is the lesser amount
of available power for the same two redundancy modes.
For example, suppose your system has the following setup:
Grids A and B each provide 220 V.
Power supply units 1 and 2 each output 6.0 kW.
Switch usage requirement is 8.784 kW.
The following three scenarios explain what happens for different numbers of power supply units
that you install:
Scenario 1: If you do not add a power supply unit, the reserve power is 6 kW and the available
power is 6 kW. The available power does not meet the switch usage requirement, so you cannot
power up the entire switch.
Scenario 2: If you add a 3-kW power supply unit, the reserve power is 9 kW (3 kW for three
power supply units on one grid), and the available power is 6 kW (3 kW for two power supply
units on a second grid). The available power does not meet the switch usage requirement, so you
cannot power up the entire switch.
Scenario 3: If you add a 6-kW power supply unit, the reserve power is 9 kW (3 kW for three
power supply units on the same grid), and the available power is 9 kW (3 kW for three power
supply units on a second grid). The available power meets the switch usage requirements, so
you can power up the entire switch.
Table 7-6 shows the results for each scenario.
