Power Supplies

Your system supports two hot-swappable 1100 W power supplies.
If two power supplies are installed, the second power supply provides, power

redundancy. In a 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

second power supply. Table 3-1 lists the power supply redundancy modes.
