Dual-power installation configurations

These dual-power installation configurations allow you to leverage the fully-redundant power features of your system.

Some models are designed with a fully redundant power system. The possible power installation configurations are listed as follows.

Dual-power installation: Redundant distribution panel and switch

This configuration requires that the system receives power from two separate power distribution panels. Each distribution panel receives power from a separate piece of building switch gear. This level of redundancy is not available in most facilities.

Dual-power installation: Redundant distribution panel

This configuration requires that the system receives power from two separate power distribution panels. The two distribution panels receive power from the same piece of building switch gear. Most facilities should be able to achieve this level of redundancy.

Single distribution panel: Dual circuit breakers

This configuration requires that the system receives power from two separate circuit breakers in a single power panel. This configuration does not make full use of the redundancy that is provided by the processor. However, it is acceptable if a second power distribution panel is not available.
