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:
  • Power source A could be your utility provider
  • Power source B could be your UPS service

Each power supply provides up to 950 watts. Therefore, the total power available for the BladeCenter S system would be as follows:
  • Non-redundant power policy: 1900 watts
  • Power module redundancy power policy: 950 watts
  • AC power source redundancy power policy: 950 watts

Four power supplies attached to 110 V ac power sources

In this example, there are four power supplies that are attached to two separate power sources. The power sources could each be different dedicated branch circuits from your circuit breaker panel:
  • Power source A could be your utility provider
  • Power source B could be your UPS service

Each power supply provides up to 950 watts. Therefore, the total power available for the BladeCenter S system would be as follows:
  • Non-redundant power policy: 3477 watts
  • Power module redundancy power policy: 2850 watts
