When the Hot Spare feature is enabled, a redundant power supply is switched to a sleep state. The active power supply supports 100% of the load, thus operating at higher efficiency. The redundant power supply in the sleep state monitors output voltage of the active power supply. If the output voltage of the active power supply drops, the redundant power supply in the sleep state returns to an active output state.
Installing A Redundant Power Supply 1. Verify that both power supplies are the same type and have the same maximum output power. NOTE: The maximum output power (shown in Watts) is listed on the power supply label. 2. If applicable, remove the power supply blank. 3. Slide the new power supply into the chassis until the power supply is fully seated and the release latch snaps into place. NOTE: If you unlatched the cable management arm in step 2 of the previous procedure, relatch it.
