redundant power supply configuration
A capability of StorageWorks cabinet and shelves to ensure that there
is no single point of power failure. (1) For a cabinet, two ac power
sources and two distribution units or ac input boxes distribute primary
and redundant ac power to shelf power supplies. (2) For a shelf, the
primary and redundant shelf power supplies ensure that the dc power
is available even when there is a failure of one supply, one ac source,
or one distribution unit or ac input box.
