The outputs of the rectifier(s) are connected together so that the total -48V power available can be increased by adding additional rectifiers. For example, three 1500W rectifiers can provide up to 4500W. Hot removal or insertion of a rectifier will not affect the -48V DC output voltage. Table 9 shows an example of the total power available from a number of 1500W rectifiers. A minimum of two rectifiers are required for each shelf to provide N+1 rectifier redundancy.

Specifying the
Redundant Power
System
3Com’s redundant power solution allows the use of any off-the-shelf
-48V DC RPS that meets the requirements defined in Appendix C on
page 115.
For an approved vendor list, more details about purchasing the 3Com
recommended RPS and a full set of requirements go to:
The 3Com recommended RPS generates -48V DC power using power
supply units (or rectifiers). The outputs of the rectifier(s) are connected
together so that the total -48V power available can be increased by
adding additional rectifiers. For example, three 1500W rectifiers can
provide up to 4500W. Hot removal or insertion of a rectifier will not affect
the -48V DC output voltage.
Table 9 shows an example of the total power available from a number of
1500W rectifiers.
A minimum of two rectifiers are required for each shelf to provide N+1
rectifier redundancy.
