Connecting to Power (Power Supply)
The chassis ships with only one power supply, and a second
power supply option is at your discretion. When the chassis
is equipped with two power supplies, you can have the
following advanced performance.
♦ Hot Swappable –
The design of the power system is based on an idea of providing
maximum flexibility and redundancy. In this way, you may remove
any of the two power supplies without turning off the system.
♦ Redundancy –
During operation, both power supplies are switched on and share
the current load. In case that one of them should fail, the other will
instantaneously take 100% of the load without any loss. Similarly,
if one power supply is removed from servicing, it can be switched
off and removed while the chassis continues functioning.
♦ Protection System –
The power of each converter bay comes from the two shared
power supplies. Each bay is isolated from each other under a
certain protection mechanism, so that it is free from any
problem that might occur to the power supplies or faulty
converter bay. This is the best solution to protect your
investment in media converters.
There is an optional solution for the backup power, -
48 volt DC to DC Power Supply.
