AC Input Power
The server can receive ac input from two different ac power sources. If two separate power
sources are available, you can plug the server into the separate power sources, increasing system
reliability if one power source fails. The power receptacles are located at the rear of the chassis.
They are labeled PWR 0 and PWR 1.

reliability if one power source fails. The power receptacles are located at the rear of the chassis.
They are labeled PWR 0 and PWR 1.
You can install a maximum of two bulk power supplies (BPS) in the server. Installing two BPSs
in the server provides 1+1 redundancy, meaning that if one BPS fails, there is still enough power
supplied to the server for it to remain operational. You must promptly replace the failed BPS to
restore 1+1 functionality.
