AC platform power consumption (high-line input)

The actual amount of power draw from the AC source depends on the type and number of blades and the power supply

AC source voltage and redundancy configuration. This table shows several possible configurations for high-line voltage

and the typical and maximum power draw.

DC power requirements

When working with a DC-powered VIPRION platform, it is important to understand the DC power options and

requirements.

DC power redundancy provisioning

The platform supports one to four DC power supplies. Each slot is provisioned to draw up to 600W; therefore, one power

supply can support two blade slots with no redundancy. This table shows some of the possible blade and power supply

redundancy configurations.
