Attention: Nonredundant power is not supported in <strong>BladeCenter</strong> products.<br />
Power modules must always be present in power bays 1 and 2. When any<br />
blade server or option is in blade bays 7 through 14, power modules must be<br />
present in all four power-module bays.<br />
If a power module fails or an ac power failure occurs, <strong>BladeCenter</strong> units<br />
configured for redundant power operation operate in a nonredundant mode, and<br />
the blower modules runs at full speed. You must replace the failing power module<br />
or restore ac power as soon as possible to regain redundant power operation and<br />
to reset the blower modules to their normal operating speed.<br />
As of the date of this publication, these four <strong>BladeCenter</strong> power-module options<br />
are supported:<br />
► <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>BladeCenter</strong> 1200W Power Supply Module (part number 48P7052)<br />
► <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>BladeCenter</strong> 1200W to 1400W Power Supply Upgrade Kit (part number<br />
90P0197)<br />
► <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>BladeCenter</strong> 1800W Power Supply Module (part number 13N0570)<br />
► <strong>IBM</strong> <strong>BladeCenter</strong> 2000W Power Supply Module (part number 26K4816)<br />
Not visible in either view of the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> chassis are the redundant pair of<br />
midplanes in the center of the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> chassis that interconnect the blade<br />
servers installed in the front, and other modules that are installed in the rear of<br />
the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> chassis. <strong>The</strong> midplanes support the hot-plugging of blade<br />
servers and the other <strong>BladeCenter</strong> modules.<br />
Note: <strong>IBM</strong> offers a variant of the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> called the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> T. <strong>The</strong><br />
<strong>BladeCenter</strong> T is designed to meet the special needs of the<br />
telecommunications industry and has been tested for NEBS compliance.<br />
Since <strong>BladeCenter</strong> <strong>JS20</strong> is not supported in the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> T at this time, we<br />
do not describe <strong>BladeCenter</strong> T and its associated features in this book.<br />
2.1.2 <strong>BladeCenter</strong> power options<br />
<strong>The</strong> standard redundant power supplies are installed in power bays 1 and 2 of<br />
the <strong>BladeCenter</strong> chassis, and provide power to the first six blade server bays.<br />
This is known as power domain A.<br />
To install blade servers in the remaining bays 7 through 14, you must install an<br />
additional pair of redundant power supply modules in power bays 3 and 4. This is<br />
known as power domain B. Figure 2-3 shows these two power domains.<br />
