Introduction Hardware Overview
The RS 8600 power supply is somewhat larger than the RS 8000 power supply. Figure 2-5 shows the front view of an
RS 8600 AC power supply.

The following table lists the specifications for the RS’s AC power supply.
To ensure against equipment failure, you can install a redundant power supply. When two power supplies are active in
the RS, they load share, each supply delivering approximately 50 percent of the current needed. Moreover, if one of
the power supplies fails, the other power supply immediately assumes the entire load, thus preventing any system
outage.
The AC power supply has a green status LED. When the LED is lit, the power supply is connected to an appropriate
power source and is active. The status LED is lit when you switch the power supply on, not when you plug the power
supply into a power source.
