IMPORTANT: If redundancy mode is set to Redundant, AC Redundant, or Power Supply
Redundant, and power redundancy is lost, then you must either add additional power supplies or
change the redundancy mode setting in the Onboard Administrator to restore Power Subsystem
status. See the Insight Display for corrective steps.
The HP BladeSystem c3000 or c7000 Enclosure power management system enables you to configure the
enclosure. You can choose from the different modes on the Onboard Administrator Power Management
screen. The power modes are explained in the following table.

Description
Redundant Redundant For DC power supplies only. In this configuration, N power
supplies are used to provide power and N are used to
provide redundancy (where N can equal 1, 2, or 3). Up to
three power supplies can fail without causing the enclosure
to fail. When correctly wired with redundant DC line feeds,
this configuration also ensures that a DC line feed failure
does not cause the enclosure to power off.
