The RPSU is built with 2 removable power packs to obtain 1+1 redundancy. In normal situations
both power packs supply the power together based on a load balance mechanism. In the status
page of the APRESA (Tools/System/System Information) the health of the RPSU is displayed.
In the event that one power pack fail, the other power pack will take over completely by delivering
the desired power standing alone. The APRESA system:
1. Sends a warning E-mail to a configurable administrator/manager client;
(note: ONLY when configured properly)
2. The health indicator on the system information page will display this error;
3. SNMP will be supported soon.
