No Redundancy Mode
The no redundancy mode is the factory default setting for 3 PSU
configuration and indicates that the chassis does not have any power
redundancy configured. In this configuration, the overall redundancy status
of the chassis always indicates No Redundancy.
CMC does not require the PSU units to be present in any specific PSU slot
positions when No Redundancy is configured.
NOTE: All PSUs in the chassis are Online if DPSE is disabled when in No
Redundancy mode. When DPSE is enabled all active PSUs in the chassis are listed
as Online and additional PSUs may be turned to Standby to increase the system's
power efficiency.
Figure 9-3. No Redundancy with three PSUs in the chassis
A PSU failure brings other PSUs out of Standby mode, as needed, to support
the chassis power allocations. If you have 4 PSUs, and require only three, then
in the event that one fails, the fourth PSU is brought online. A chassis can
have all 6 PSUs online.
