Phase redundancy is possible in regions, where a single phase provides
200 - 240V; in other regions with lower single phase voltage, two phases
must be coupled and complete phase redundancy thus is not possible.
The unoccupied PSU slots are fitted with dummy modules to ensure that the
electromagnetic emission properties of the system are observed and that the
system components are properly cooled.
12.1 Notes on power cabling
Due to the high power requirements of the BX600 S3 blade server, you must be
careful when arranging the power cabling. Be sure to take into account local
conditions such as mains voltage and UPS solution.
The configuration examples below illustrate different power cabling options for
a BX600 S3 basic unit fitted with four power supply units.
Single basic unit with a single phase input
Figure 70: Basic unit with a single phase input
This is the simplest of the configuration options. All 4 power supply units are
connected to the same phase. This would require a single phase providing suffi-
cient power.
This power cabling option does not provide phase redundancy and therefore is
not recommended.
