General power supply rules are as follows:
Minimum of one and maximum of two power supplies per system
If two are installed, power supplies must be identical
Important: The Standalone Solution Configuration Tool (SSCT) and Lenovo Hardware Configurator power
supply selection rules allow a subset of possible configurations due to power restrictions. Configurations
that cannot be built in SSCT or Hardware Configurator due to power restrictions may still be supported. To
verify support and ensure that the right power supply is chosen for optimal performance, you should
always validate your server configuration using the latest version of the System x Power Configurator:
