Power Modes

A c-type SAN Director has a flexible power system.

Any operational power supply provides power to the system power bus. This allows the power load of the system to be shared equally across all operational power supplies.

Power supply output can be allocated to one of two pools. The available pool is available to bring up system components. The reserve pool is kept in reserve and not counted towards the available power.

The system can be configured in one of several modes which vary the size of the available and reserve power pools, according to user requirements.
