32 Disk Enclosure Components

Power Supplies

Redundant, hot-swappable 450-watt power supplies convert wide-ranging AC voltage from
an external main to stable DC output and deliver it to the backplane. Each power supply
has two internal blowers, an AC receptacle (A in

Figure 7

), a cam handle (B) with locking

screw, and an LED (C). Internal control prevents the rear DC connector from becoming
energized when the power supply is removed from the disk enclosure.

Note

Although it is possible to operate the disk enclosure on one power supply, it is
not recommended. Using only one supply creates a single point of failure. If the
power supply fails, the entire enclosure is inaccessible. To maintain high
availability, both power supplies should be used at all times, and a failed supply
should be replaced as soon as possible.
