Power Supplies

Power supply for the Kaleido-X16 frame

The Kaleido-X16 frame is powered by dual redundant, current-sharing power supply units (PSUs). The

PSUs are installed and removed from the front of the frame and are hot-swappable, so that a defective

supply may be replaced without removing the Kaleido-X16 frame from service. When facing the front of

the frame, the PSU on the left side is referred to as PSU A and the PSU on the right side is PSU B.

Access the power supplies by removing the front door of the frame. Viewed from the front of the frame,

the PSUs are located on the left-hand and right-hand sides of the frame:

IMPORTANT: If your frame has only one PSU, it must be installed in Slot A (left side of frame)

There are two power supplies: an operational PSU and a redundant PSU. The system operates with

a single PSU. If you choose to have only one PSU installed in your Kaleido-X16 frame, you must do

the following:

•Clear the PSU B Installed check box for this Kaleido-X16 frame in XAdmin (see the “Configuring

the PSU B Installed Option in XAdmin” section in the “Setting Up the Kaleido-X16” chapter of the

Kaleido-X16 Quick Start Guide).

• Install the single PSU (PSU A) in Slot A (the left side of the frame when facing the front of the

frame) (see “Installing a Power Supply” on page 9).
