Connecting the power cords
To protect your system from power-failure-related down time, each MSA ships
standard with a redundant power supply. Depending how you connect the power
supplies to your power source, you can eliminate down time caused by
power-related failures.
When connecting the power cords, use the power cords shipped with the MSA.
After power is supplied to the MSA, the power supply automatically senses the
input voltage and the LED behind the power switch illuminates as solid amber.
Table 6:
Levels of Protection Against Power Failures
Connection Method
Level of Protection
MSA power supplies connected
to:
one power source
Protects you from down time when one of the
MSA power supplies fails.
The remaining power supply/fan module can
operate the MSA until you install a replacement
module.
MSA power supplies connected
to:
two separate power sources
Protects you from down time when one of the
MSA power supplies fails.
Protects you from data loss when
one
of your
power sources fails, due to a pulled cable,
tripped breaker.
The remaining power source can power the MSA
until the failed power source is restored or
relocated. Depending on the cause and duration
of the power outage, you can use this time to
properly shut down your storage sub-system.
MSA power supplies connected
to:
two UPS
two separate power sources
Protects you from down time when one of the
MSA power supplies fails.
Protects you from data loss when
one
or
both
of your power sources fails, due to a pulled
cable, tripped breaker or local power outage.
The remaining power source or the UPS will
power the MSA until power is restored to the
source. Depending on the cause and duration of
the power outage, you can use this time to
properly shut down your storage sub-system.
