Power Supplies; Integrated Virtualization - IBM X3850 X6 Product Manual

Power supplies

The x3850 X6 server supports up to four redundant power supplies. Standard models come with one, two,
or four power supplies (model dependent). The following table lists the power supplies.

An AC power supply ships standard with one 2.8 m C13 - C14 power cord.
Configuration rules are as follows:
Power supplies must be in pairs (x3850 X6) or quads (x3950 X6), with the exception of model

3837-A4x, where one power supply is supported.
The AC power supplies can be mixed. Valid combinations for the x3850 X6 for example, are:

Two 44X4132 and two 44X4152

Two 44X4132 and two 44X4150

It is not recommended you mix the two 1400 W options (44X4152 for low altitude and 44X4150 for

high altitude) as you will nullify the high-altitude capabilities of 44X4150.
You cannot mix the AC power supplies with the DC power supply

Use the Power Configurator to determine exactly what power your server needs:
