Hot-swap Power supplies The server comes with three hot-swap power supplies. The power supplies can provide up to 550 watts each at 110 V AC input power, and 750 watts each at 220 V AC input power. Danger Overloading an electrical circuit breaker is potentially a fire hazard and a shock hazard under certain conditions. To avoid these hazards, adhere to the instructions in the following statements. 1. If you are connecting to a 100-127 V AC power source, connect each power cord to a separate branch circuit. 2. If you are connecting to a 200-240 V AC power source and the branch circuit breaker rating is: a. 13 amps or less, connect each power cord to a separate branch circuit. b. 14 amps to 19 amps, do not connect more than two power cords to the same branch circuit. c. 20 amps or greater, you may connect up to three power cords to the same branch circuit. In addition to the power supplies, the server comes with three 220 V AC power cords, and three 110 V AC power cords (U.S. only). Be sure to select the appropriate power cord voltage for the server environment. All three power cords must have the same voltage. If you connect the three: 220 V AC power cords to the power supplies, the three power supplies support redundancy and hot-swap capability. 110 V AC power cords to the power supplies, the three power supplies do not support redundancy if the system configuration exceeds any of these conditions: - More than six processors - More than 24 memory DIMMs - More than eight PCI adapters For servers with redundant power, the loss of a single power supply will not affect the server operation. Replace a power supply that has failed as soon as convenient to help maintain the redundant power and cooling capability. When a power supply has failed and the Power Good light is on, the DC power LED on the power supply is off. See "Power supply LED errors" on page 173 for more information on the DC power LEDs.
