34 Product Overview
Power Modules
The disk enclosure is shipped with two fully redundant power modules. Each
power module contains:
■ An autoranging power supply that converts ac input power to dc output
power for use by the other array components. The power supplies share the
power load under non-fault conditions. If one power supply fails, the other
supply delivers the entire load to maintain power for the array. Each power
supply uses a separate power cord. Both power supplies can be plugged
into a common power source, or each supply can be plugged into a
separate circuit to provide power source redundancy.
■ One internal blower, which provides airflow and maintains the proper
operating temperature within the array enclosure. If the blower fails, a fault
will occur. The other power module will continue to operate and its blower
will continue to cool the enclosure. Even if a power supply fails, the blower
within the power module will continue to operate; dc power for the blower
is distributed from the midplane.
