Dual power installation
The z10 BC model is designed with a fully redundant power system. Each computer
has two line cords attached to two power input ports which, in turn, power a fully
redundant power distribution system within the computer. To take full advantage of
the redundancy/reliability that is built into the computer system, the system must be
powered from two distribution panels. Here we will present three examples of
redundancy.
Example 1 (redundant distribution panel and switch gear)
In this example, the computer receives power from two separate power distribution
panels. Each distribution panel receives power from a separate piece of building
switch gear. This level of redundancy is not available in most facilities.
