Before you get started with the VIPRION platform, it is important to
understand the power options and requirements. This section describes AC
power supply support and cable requirements.
The platform supports one to four AC power supplies. The power supplies
are auto-ranging 90VAC to 240VAC input. Each power supply can provide
up to 1435W of power at low-line input (90-140VAC) and up to 2390W at
high-line input (180-240VAC). One power supply with low-line input can
support two blades with no redundancy. Table 8.2 shows recommended
power provisioning for low-line input.
Maximum System Power Draw
875 W from AC Source
1250 W from AC Source
1625 W from AC Source
2000 W from AC Source
The same power supply can support up to three blades with high-line AC
input as shown in Table 8.3. Adding more supplies provides levels of
redundancy.
