Attention: Power supply modules must always be installed in pairs. You can<br />
have either two power supply modules (in power bays 1 and 2) or four power<br />
supply modules (in power bays 1 through 4). Both power supply modules in a<br />
redundant pair should have the same capacity.<br />
When setting up the power requirements for the <strong>BladeCenter</strong>, remember the<br />
following criteria:<br />
► Install the power modules in pairs in a domain. <strong>The</strong>y must match each other in<br />
capacity (wattage, amperage, and so on).<br />
► A power domain operating above the capacity of a single power module<br />
results in a nonredundant power condition.<br />
► In a pair of power modules, a power module that is not connected to a<br />
200–240 volt ac power source results in a nonredundant power condition.<br />
► To provide true redundant power, connect <strong>BladeCenter</strong> power modules 1<br />
and 3 to a different 200–240 volt ac power source than to power modules 2<br />
and 4.<br />
► Connect an installed power module to an ac power source. <strong>The</strong> module must<br />
not be used as a filler.<br />
Attention: To maintain proper system cooling, each unoccupied blade bay<br />
must contain a filler blade as well as each unoccupied I/O,<br />
management-module, or power-module bay. An installed power module must<br />
be powered, but must not be used as a filler.<br />
Table 2-1 shows the minimum power requirements for power domain A.<br />
