Redundant power supply enablement option
The RPS enablement option supports the installation of two Gen10 Flexible Slot (Flex Slot) power supplies.
Adding a second power supply provides redundant power support to the server if one power supply fails. You do not have
to power down the server before removing or installing a redundant hot-plug power supply.
