AC Input Power
The server can receive AC input from two different AC power sources. If two separate power sources are
available, you can plug the server into the separate power sources, increasing system reliability should one
power source fail. The power receptacles are located at the rear of the chassis. They are labeled PWR 1 and
PWR 2.
CAUTION
Do not route data and power cables in parallel paths in close proximity to each other. The
suggested minimum distance that the data and power cables should be apart is 7.62 cm (3
inches).
The power cord has current flowing through it, which creates a magnetic field. The potential to
induce electromagnetic interference in the data cables exists, thereby causing data corruption.
You can install a maximum of two bulk power supplies (BPS) in the server. Installing two BPSs in the server
provides n+1 redundancy, meaning that if one BPS fails, there is another power supply to power the server.
You must promptly replace the failed BPS to restore n+1 functionality.
A minimum of one BPS is required to power the server. There is no n+1 capability in this case.
Power States
The server has three power states:
Standby power
Full power
Off
Plug the power cord into the appropriate receptacle on the rear of the chassis to achieve the standby power
state; the front panel power button is not turned on. Full power occurs when the power cord is plugged into
the appropriate receptacle, and either the power is activated through the MP
PC
command, or the power
button is activated. In the off state, the power cords are not plugged in. Table 5-1 lists the server power states.
NOTE
If the power restore feature is set to
Always On
through the MP
PR
command, the server may
automatically power on to the full power state.
