About the Passport 8100 Modules
204515-C 1-15
The Passport 8000 Series redundant power supplies provide protection from the
following types of failures:
• Failure of the power supply module
• Disconnection or cutting of the AC or DC line cord
When you plug the power cords for each power supply into separate AC circuits
or separate DC power sources, the Passport 8000 Series redundant power supplies
also provide protection against the failure of an individual circuit or power source.

Note: Redundant power supplies are an optional feature, not a requirement.

for up to 6 installed modules in the chassis. Two power supplies constitute a
nonredundant power configuration for a Passport 8010 Chassis with 7 to 10
installed modules.
