    Level 03c, May 2011 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.
  • Page 114 Most facilities should be able to achieve this level of redundancy. In this case, loss of switch gear (building power) will result in system outage, but loss of one distribution panel will not. Distribution Panel Switch Gear Distribution Panel z10 BC IMPP...
