Power non-fault-tolerant
is:
A mode in which 100 percent of the power that can be allocated to
modules is available to them (no power is held in reserve).
The default mode for power supplies as shipped.
While the chassis is running in power non-fault-tolerant mode, the
amount of power that is available to modules is determined only by the
number of power supplies that are installed. If a power supply fails while
the chassis is running in non-fault-tolerant mode:
Installed modules continue to operate without interruption if the
output of the remaining power supplies is sufficient to provide
adequate power to all installed modules.
