Power supplies and power requirements

N series storage systems contain two hot-swappable power supplies. They are both active at the same time, but have sufficient capacity that if one fails the other can assume the full load. Each power supply has a separate power cord. Separate power sources for each power cord are recommended.

Power cords with attached plugs are provided for most ac-powered systems. The power cords are ordered by feature code and at least one power cord must be specified when the ordering the N series storage system. A feature code contains two cords, one for each power supply. Power cables vary by country and are listed in Power cord list for N series storage systems.

Important:

Before you install the N series storage system, you must make sure that its proposed location meets the power requirements. If necessary, consult an electrician to determine if your electrical infrastructure can support the N series storage system that you are installing.
Consider security when planning your power requirements. (For example, your power mains should be in a secure area.) See Security for more information.
