Redundant optional power capabilities
The chassis supports up to three 1300-watt, 1600-watt, or 2700-watt hot-swap CRPS AC power supplies, which provide redundancy.ImportantPower supplies and redundant power supplies in the chassis must be of the same brand, power rating, wattage, or efficiency level, with the same latch color.Chassis management
The chassis midplane with PSoC (Programmable System on Chip) allows monitor and management of nodes and power supply units in the chassis. A chassis caretaker node is selected by the PSoC firmware for chassis management.
For the management interface, see Lenovo XClarity Controller portal page. In XCC, certain management functions can only be performed by the caretaker node, whereas other functions can be performed by all nodes.
