Power supply units 
The base redundant system consists of two hot-plug power supplies in a 1+1 configuration available 
at 1200W and 1400W. The PowerEdge C6220 II supports two configurations based on the number 
of system boards, as shown in Table 14.

System power supply throttling feature  
The PowerEdge C6220 II supports a power supply throttling feature that protects the system if 
power consumption exceeds the maximum for the supply (either 1400W or 1200W). In 
configurations where power consumption is greater than the maximum, redundancy is lost, and the 
PowerEdge C6220 II throttles power consumption of the two or four independent nodes to stay 
within the power budget. Performance is degraded in this mode, but the system continues to 
operate. After you replace the failed power supply, redundancy is restored and all nodes resume 
normal operation.
