220 V ac
The following table shows the maximum power available in a BladeCenter S
system based on the number of power modules installed (connected to 220 V ac)
and the power management policy chosen.

Power attachment diagrams

These power attachment diagrams show examples of how to attach to power based
on whether you are using 110 V ac or 220 V ac power sources.
Power attachment diagrams - 110 V ac
These power attachment diagrams show examples of how to attach to 110 V ac
power sources.
Remember: You cannot mix 110 V ac power sources and 220 V ac power sources
in the same BladeCenter S chassis.
Two power supplies attached to 110 V ac power sources
In this example, there are two power supplies that are attached to separate power
sources. The power sources could be dedicated branch circuits from your circuit
breaker panel:
v Power source A could be your utility provider
v Power source B could be your UPS service
